Klappentext

`Every opening page of a novel is a gateway to a secret ... I began:

Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge. The bridge was being repaired; she went right through the Danger sign . . . Nothing much was left of her but charred smithereens.

I wrote The Blind Assassin over twenty-five years ago, in the last three years of the twentieth century . . . I had endless warped, fun and mental adventures writing this novel'
