The books in one. So far I have completed the first book, a tragi-comic road trip by early automobile. Or hero, Tomas, is barely functioning due to grief at the loss of his lover and their young son. Inspired by a quest for a religious artefact he has learned of in his studies as an antiquarian, he heads off alone into the hinterland in his uncle's car which he hardly knows how to control.
