L'Arbre à sang

On an isolated farm, a mother and her two filles have just ended their ordeal by killing their husband and father. Confronted with the problem of this body that will have to be disposed of, they will experience satisfaction, elation, then flabbergasting, guilt, fear and enfin liberation.
As they receive visitors, we shudder with them that their crime will be discovered. But each visitor, pretending to be unaware of the corpse's presence, offers advice and tips on how to get rid of it.
These three women take charge of the narrative, while playing themselves or other characters as required. Australian Angus Cerini delivers a dark fable about laissez-faire sexual and domestic violence, a merciless tale that revives the myth, in rhythmic, concise language, thanks to a translation as close to the writing as possible.
