When a disgraced TV presenter takes up the role of housekeeper on an isolated Norwegian fjord, she develops a chilling, obsessive relationship with her employer an award-winning, simply stunning debut psychological thriller from one of Norways finest writers. ***As heard on BBC Books at Bedtime******WINNER of the English PEN Translation Award******Shortlisted for the Dublin Literary Award******Shortlisted for the Petrona Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Novel of the Year*** An unrelenting atmosphere of doom fails to prepare readers for the surprising resolution Publishers Weekly Unfolds in an austere style that perfectly captures the bleakly beautiful landscape of Norways far north Irish Times Two people in exile. Two secrets. As the past tightens its grip, there may be no escape TV presenter Allis Hagtorn leaves her partner and her job to take voluntary exile in a remote house on an isolated fjord.
