Paperback. Condizione: New. "In a way, the language is the protagonist in this book. It is luminous and vibrant, full of associations, reflections and quotes. The words embrace the world with sensuality, humour, wonder and a confusion of feelings." -Fredrik WandrupIn a hotel, high up in a mountain village, two sisters aim to rec…onnect after distant years that contrast their close, almost twin-like upbringing. Martha has just been discharged from a sanatorium after a mental breakdown. Ella agrees to keep her company in the hope that the clean winter air will provide clarity-and a way back to their childhood connection.It's only when plans go awry, and Martha disappears in a rage, that Ella discovers a new sense of self outside her filial role. This identity is reinforced by various encounters: the hotel receptionist who takes her under her wing; the enigmatic love interest; the wistful, drunken Salvation Army soldier; the carpenter. And not least, Ella's encounter with the writings of Stefan Zweig, which have a profound impact.Winner of the Critics' Prize 2018 and shortlisted for the Booksellers' Prize 2018, Mona HØvring's work is as sharp as it sensitive; insightful as it is original when exploring the many distractions of the heart.
