Visitations

A profoundly moving and captivating tale that, while marked by sadness, is also illuminated by moments of beauty, joy, and unexpected humour. It weaves together the depth and complexity of a life, blending the lines between memoir and fiction.

Dana, a solitary woman from Eastern Europe, dies in a New Zealand nursing home, leaving behind a trove of notebooks and a trail of memories. The nurse who discovers them is drawn into Dana’s life, the tragedy at the heart of it and Dana’s quest to make her world right again. As the nurse reads, she navigates through profound sorrow and complex emotions, experiencing both the strangeness and allure of the woman’s memoir-like writings.

Daniela Dragas’s lyrical prose imbues Dana’s story with philosophical insight, creating a rich tapestry of reflection and wonder. The narrative explores themes of memory, identity, and the fluid boundaries between past and future, inviting readers to ponder their own place in a diverse world.

Visitations offers a captivating and thought-provoking journey, engaging readers with its storytelling and deep introspection. It will linger in your mind, challenging and inspiring you long after the final page.
