Forlagsbeskrivelse af Tantrum af Rachel Eve Moulton
Thea''s third pregnancy was her easiest. She wasn''t consumed with anxiety about the baby. She wasn''t convinced it was going to be born green, or have a third eye, or have tentacles sprouting from its torso. Thea was fine. Her baby would be fine. But when the nurses handed Lucia to her, Thea just knew. Her baby girl was a monster. Not only was Lucia born with a full set of teeth and a devilish glint in her eye, but she''s always hungry. Indiscriminately so. One day Lucia pointed at her baby brother, looked Thea dead in the eye and said, ''I eat.'' Thea doesn''t know whether to be terrified or proud of her rapacious baby girl. And as Lucia starts growing faster and talking more, dark memories bubble to the surface-flashes from Thea''s childhood that won''t release their hooks from her heart. Lucia wants to eat the world. Thea might just let her. Crackling with originality and dark humour, Rachel Eve Moulton''s Tantrum is a provocative exploration of familial debt, duty, and the darker side of motherhood.
