A betrayed husband is convinced by a brief telegram that his second ex-wife wants him to track her down - that she wants to be found. He hires the Ex-Detective, who sets out with a translator into a snowy, hostile forest where strange things happen and translation serves to betray both sense and the senses. The stories of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood haunt the Ex-Detective's quest. As she enters a territory overrun with the primitive excesses of capitalism - accumulation and expulsion, corruption and cruelty -the lessons of her journey unfold: that sometimes leaving everything behind is the only thing left to do.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBSubtitle: Winner of the 2019 Shirley Jackson AwardGenre: FictionTopic: Crime Thrillers & MysteryRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
