ABOUT Caeseria


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?

Hanna Nordenhök masterfully blends the elements of storytelling with the history of gynecology, bringing to life the story of Caesaria.
