Meer over het boek

The story unfolds in an African city where a young woman grapples with a disintegrating sense of self as her skin color peels away and the people around her fade into invisibility. The impending destruction of a train, a significant site for burying the dead, adds to the sense of loss. Guided by a warning from her grandmother's dreamskin, the narrator faces a crumbling reality, exploring themes of identity, memory, and the impact of societal changes on personal existence.
