Summary

"In 1979, Stefan Hertmans, obsessed with a rundown townhouse in Ghent, discovers the previous owner was a former SS officer and sets out to tell the story of the house and the people who lived in it and passed through it, reimaging a family in a historical moment of great upheaval. A stunning and immersive reimagining of a family in a historical moment of great upheaval confirms Hertmans' always brilliant melding of fiction and nonfiction"--, adapted from Novelist
