Présentation de l'éditeur
Turtles ferrying the dreams of the dead. A kiss, the taste of burnt sugar, melting with infinite slowness. A woman's twelve-metre hair trawling corpses from a river. These enigmatic tales of hope and chance are among 23 stories set in the Philippines and Australia. Mythic, wistful and quirky, they resonate with an original voice.
