Authors

Hagar Peeters

Hagar Peeters brings Malva to life, with a masterful narrative voice. […] In her debut, Peeters shows how great the power of imagination can be and, above all, how to tell a story.

A long, lyrical and miraculously natural-sounding letter to father Neruda, an attempt to reach him even after his death by telling him her life story, right to its bitter end.
