Trine and her mother live on the German coast. The mudflats that surround them disappear and reappear with the North Sea tides. Anna roams the beaches collecting flotsam and jetsam to make art, Trine loves playing on a war-time shipwreck. That is, until Trine’s brother appears.
‘By turns beguiling and unsettling, Flotsam examines grief and loss through the eyes of an extraordinary child’ Rachel Seiffert
Trine and her mother live in a cottage on the German coast. The mudflats that surround them disappear and reappear with the North Sea tides. The family leads a lonely existence, but each person has adapted in their own way. Anna roams the beaches collecting flotsam and jetsam to make art, while Trine loves playing on a wartime shipwreck. That is, until she loses her brother.
In her taut style, Meike Ziervogel tells a coming-of-age story from 1950s Germany – a place still haunted by war. A place where people pretend not to notice the ghosts.
