Ein Roman wie ein Schrei: über weibliches Begehren und künstlerische Kraft »Du warst der letzte hier, bevor ich die Tür von Burntcoat schloss. Bevor wir alle unsere Türen schlossen.« - Im Schlafzimmer über ihrem riesigen Atelier in Burntcoat trifft die berühmte Bildhauerin Edith Harkness letzte Vorbereitungen. Die Symptome, die ihr Körper zeigt, sind bekannt: Ihr Leben wird in den nächsten Tagen zu Ende gehen. Ihr Atelier gleicht einem glühenden Ofen, befeuert von Erinnerungen und Sehnsüchten. Hierher brachte Edith Halit, als der erste Lockdown begann. Den Liebhaber, den sie kaum kannte. Eine Erscheinung aus einer anderen Kultur. Ein Tor zu einer neuen und fiebrigen Welt. Sprachlich betörend und mit großem Sog erzählt Sarah Hall von weiblichem Begehren und der Kraft künstlerischen Schaffens.
