The story unfolds against a backdrop of urban life, focusing on the experiences of Isolde, a seventeen-year-old girl, as well as her family dynamics. The narrative blends themes of youth, societal constraints, and a fascination with the macabre, suggesting a deeper exploration of human emotions and desires. The opening of the book immerses the reader in
a bustling cityscape, where the oppressive heat incites a longing for relief brought about by a sudden storm. Amid this chaotic backdrop, a market construction unearths human bones, sparking curiosity and fear amongst onlookers. One of the central characters, Isolde, watches intently from her window, showing a complex blend of intrigue and fascination with the gruesome discovery. As the story progresses, Isolde's idiosyncratic interest in a skull pertains not only to the discovery but also features her emotional evolution.
