In a nameless town during a timeless era, spirits and spells, witchcraft and demons, ghosts and clairvoyance both real and imagined are an everyday reality. Sixteen-year-old Meridia tries to escape her alienating childhood and mysterious parents by running away at sixteen to marry a tender-hearted young man, whose family is harbouring secrets of their own. There is a grave hidden in the garden. There are two sisters groomed from birth to despise each other. And there is Eva, the formidable matriarch whose grievances swarm the air in an army of bees. Setiawan takes readers through a tumultuous thirty-year journey of hope and heartbreak as Meridia s capacity for love, courage, and sanity is pushed to the brink.
