In 19th-century Sweden, Caesaria is kept in a doctor's mansion as a trophy: she is the first baby to be born alive from one of his c-sections. In a Gothic ambiance, Caesaria narrates in first person her experiences in the mansion and her encounters with its mysterious inhabitants and visitors. Does she know where she comes from? Where is her mother? Is there a world beyond these walls?
"A magnificent, gothic tale of a doctor who imprisons his patient. Hanna Nordenhök’s new novel Caesaria, set in 19th-century Sweden, is a sharp,haunting fable about the dangers of male violence" 5-star review in The Telegraph
