Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I have visited my grandparents, who live nearby in a red wooden house. Grandpa mostly just lies in bed since he broke his leg, although he gets up sometimes to take his three-wheel moped to the pub. I have never been in the attic, but I'm afraid of it.#2 I like to lie down on the floor with Dtter and bury my nose in her stomach while I listen to the adults talking. The wood floor in the living room is shiny and greasy. From the floor, I can look up at the coffee table, which is covered with ashtrays and coffee cups.#3 I was three years old when I was sent to an orphanage called Kastanjegrden. The place looked like a nice old farm, and I was excited to live there with my brothers.#4 After a few hours of being allowed to walk around on their own, it's dinner time. I enjoy the food and am full and happy by the time the TV is turned on. I fall asleep at the dining table with my head on my arms.
