Lake

A dystopian page-turner about the coming of age of a young
hero, which won the 2017 EU Prize for Literature.
A fishing village at the end of the world. A lake that is drying
up and, ominously, pushing out its banks. The men have vodka,
the women troubles, the children eczema to scratch at. Born into
this unforgiving environment, Nami, a young boy, embarks on a
journey with nothing but a bundle of nerves, a coat that was once
his grandfather's and the vague idea of searching for his mother,
who disappeared from his life at a young age. To uncover the
greatest mystery of his life, he must sail across and walk around
the lake and finally dive to its bottom.
