Blanka takes a summer job at a center for people with physical
disabilities in the French city of Marseille, where her encounter with
their severe conditions ends badly. A deeply unsettling, visceral tale
of a young woman unraveling, evolving from carer to cared for. A novel
about our own inability to escape 'our own private cages', imprisoned by
fear, anxiety and mistrust, no less than indifference to others.
