They Will Drown in Their Mothers' Tears

In the midst of a terrorist attack on a bookstore reading by Goran Loberg, a comic book artist famous for his demeaning drawings of the prophet Mohammed, one of the attackers, a young woman, has a sudden premonition that something is wrong, changing the course of history. Two years later, this unnamed woman invites an acclaimed writer to visit her in the criminal psychiatric clinic where she lives. She then shares with him an incredible story - she is a visitor from an alternate future where any so-called 'anti-Swedish' citizens are forced into a horrific ghetto called The Rabbit Yard. As events begin to spiral and the author becomes more and more implicated in this woman's tale, he comes to believe the unbelievable: she's telling the truth. A remarkably intense, beautifully wrought tale that combines the ingenuity of speculative fiction with today's harsh political realities, They Will Drown in Their Mothers' Tears catapults Anyuru to the front ranks of world writers.
