Description

High school reunions can be hell but when you throw in racial and sexual tensions, extramarital affairs and cannibalistic, undead vegetarians, it's hell times infinity. Lai Fun Kugelheim and Stefanja Dumanowski are best friends who, on hearing the news of an old high school pal's death, are gripped by nostalgia and organise a twenty-year reunion. But what seems like a simple task becomes increasingly complex. Suzette Mayr's latest novel weaves an outrageously comical yet surreal tale of broken hearts, burning hearts, and hearts for dinner.

Reviews

An exciting literary journey... a powerful anc compelling debut.
