Some time ago, in a big city in a distant country

where winter would sometimes last three years,

there lived a woman. She had a child. A son.

And because she loved him very much she promised herself

that he should be spared the terrible things that happen in life,

and with him in her arms she left her house and the city

and in a place where there were no roads and no bridges

she built him a house and in it she cared for him and was happy.



But one moonless night she died...

A remarkable book, full of silence and space, that forces its readers to reflect on the notions of childhood, parental responsibility, death, human conditioning and, ultimately, whether love can be enough. - Ibby Link
