Without Blood begins with a shocking, visceral act of violence - the assassination of a man and his family. Only the daughter, Nina, survives, thanks to an extraordinary act of mercy by one of the attackers. Nina is just four years old. Decades later Nina hunts down the last of her family's murderers, the man who was her saviour. Their reunion brings about a profound reappraisal of their lives and what took place on that fateful night over half a century earlier. Highly visual and unforgettably sad, Without Blood is a haunting book about damage, longing, memory and forgiveness. Ann Goldstein's superb translation captures Baricco's effortless prose style and gives readers in Britain the opportunity to experience this gem of a novel that has already delighted hundreds of thousands across Europe.

While this book is not of the same quality as his better-known "Silk" and "Ocean Sea", Baricco's writing is still clear, concise, and filled with well-chosen images. This short novel divided into two sections: The first section tells of a girl hiding under the floor while her father and brother are murdered for political reasons. The section section tells of the relationship between the now-grown girl and the one surviving murderer. While the plot seems a bit contrived or didactic, the psychological depiction of the characters is "spot on" making the book well worth a read.
