The narrator of Lagoon walks for hours during long summer nights, gazing through the windows that line the streets. In between, she reflects on how she might write about the shifting space of the lagoon, where she spent summer holidays with her family years ago. In adolescence, the narrator watches quietly as her mother, father and sister go about building their holiday home. But she can sense something is awry, she just does not fully understand what. Part prose poem, part reflection on the relations between writing and place, Lagoon tells the story of the slow undoing of an idyll.
