'Kaleidoscopic and beguiling . . . A singular and thrilling debut that shows
what happens when objective truth and meaning are drowned in the shifting
river of history and politics' ANDREW McMILLAN

'Strange, intriguing, exhilarating' CAMILLA GRUDOVA

The almost daughter is almost normal, because she knows how to know and also
not know.

She knows and does not know, for instance, about the barracks by the athletics
field, and about the lonely woman she visits each week. She knows - almost -
about ghosts, and their ghosts, and she knows not to have questions about
them. She knows to focus on being a woman: on training her body and dreaming
only of escape.

Then, the almost daughter meets Oksana. Oksana is not even almost normal, and
the questions she has are not normal at all.

Portraits at the Palace of Creativity and Wrecking is the story of a young
woman coming of age in a town reckoning with its brutal past, for readers of
Milkman and A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing.
