In her debut colllection, Sarah Windebank explores her Swedish roots, and especially the influence of Mormor, her grandmother, who brought her up until she was sixteen. Growing up in a household where her mother and grandmother always spoke to each other in a foreign language, but never taught her, she picked up 'glittering fragments, rather like a magpie'. With nods to Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin, this is an immersive collection of poetry full of accent and domestic detail, at once foreign and familiar.
