M dreams of wealth and grandeur, Hieu dreams of Finnish girls. The younger brother, always on the periphery, always an observer, gradually disappears into his schoolwork, mesmerised by his own intellect. The three of them form a solitary world in a small Ostrobothnian town on the west coast of Finland. M and Hieu, constantly on a collision course with each other and the communitys suffocating social codes. They live among people who want to talk openly about everything, who dont understand the necessity of sometimes remaining in the shade. In sensitive and transfixing prose that has the effect of a series of tableaux, and with chapter headings reminiscent of the intertitles in a silent film, Trans multi-award-winning debut is a moving story about love, the compulsion to create, and the meaning of family.
