My Name Is Edino
Publisher: Luitingh-Sijthoff
The missing piece of the ‘Ruinerwold story’
Edino goes to school every day, along with his brother and sister. No one is allowed to know that there are six other siblings living at home who have little contact with the outside world. Their father calls himself “The Messiah” and prepares them for a divine mission. At home, Edino is physically and mentally punished for bringing ‘bad influences’ from school.
When his mother falls ill, the line between truth and madness blurs forever. Years later, Edino flees the house. He anxiously keeps his family secret hidden—until one day two police officers show up on his doorstep.
