Leonieke Baerwaldt

“This book is an investigation into expressing the unspeakable as precisely as possible.”

“It's really impressive. It is a mosaic story (...) and she succeeds with gusto. Keep an eye on that name. '

“The Little Mermaid fairy tale moved to the present. This debutant does it so original and smart that you are left slightly stunned. Those scars behind that mother's ear... are they gills? Hooray, the literary experiment is still alive. '

“Leonieke Baerwaldt weaves the enchanting visual language of a fairy tale with a raw story of loss, displacement, poverty and abuse.”
