Description

A young poet's journey home to Siberia becomes a poignant exploration of grief, love and creativity. After her mother's death from breast cancer, Oksana returns her ashes to their hometown, navigating the raw emotions of early grief towards acceptance of the wound that remains. As she reflects on her complex relationship with her mother and her own experiences of love, loss and sexuality, Oksana finds solace in memory and heartache. With a wry humour, she blurs the line between reality and creation, crafting an extraordinary debut that is both a powerful exploration of grief and a journey towards love, happiness and creative fulfilment. Translated from the Russian by Elina Alter, Wound is a lyrical and precise novel that offers a unique perspective on feminist thought.
