A novel that gives everything and demands everything. With a block of ice in the trunk, Eva drives to her hometown. She hasn't been there in years. And she has never looked back - until an invitation from her two oldest friends brings everything back to the surface. The wheelbarrow in which she had to haul home the grand prize, a color television, and her drunken mother from the community quiz; the noose her father showed her in the shed; the summer when Eva's friends became her darkest demons; the summer that Eva has always tried to forget. Back then, she was powerless. This time, she will make herself heard. And no one will forget it anytime soon. Lize Spit became a literary shooting star with "And it Melts." With precision and narrative brilliance, she drives her story toward an ending that shakes you to the core. Dutch Book Trade Award.
