How do you cope when your husband dies? The very next morning, you try to make bread for your guests - as usual - and you don't give a damn if it burns black.This moving and introspective story meanders through the landscape of shock, grief and betrayal. The unhurried start has a few gems in it:"The sky was a bolt of shot silk, dyed hot pink, red, violet and a most improbable green (...)""The harbour was a shroud.""The cold water felt real, but the rest was empty."
