Bøger af Monika Killeen

A gripping and touching psychological drama In her debut novel, Monika Killeen explores the mother-daughter relationship with clarity and honesty. Spanning four generations of daughters, their lives shaped by the turmoil of Eastern Europe in the twentieth century, An Inflammable Act of Kindness follows Meli on her journey from the shadows of her small town to the glaring blaze of the Dream City. From a little girl with a thousand questions for her grandma, to a young woman at boarding school, she bides her time before making an escape. The narrative weaves through times and places, piecing together the traumas, decisions and conflicts that make Meli who she is, fearlessly laying bare her inner emotional world.
