By Kristian Smeds , translated by Hilkka Pekkanen and Diane Tullberg. The 1998 winner of the Prix Europa is a raw and witty insight into poverty, pleasure and the power of spiritual love and sectarian belief. The son of a family is mute and already an old man in childhood. The mother is a single parent who raises her children with the force of her hatred and pride. The daughter leaves home early, becomes unhappily married and eventually returns home to attempt reconciliation. wrth Sharon Percy. Joe Caffrey. Philippa Wilson and Carol McGuigan.
