From the acclaimed Nordic Council Literature Prize winner, a
story that reveals the devastating effects of mistaking
silence for peace and feeling shame for inevitable circumstances
Eva and Simon have spent most of their adult lives together.
He is a physician and she is a teacher, and they have three
grown daughters and a comfortable home. Yet what binds them
together isn’t only affection and solidarity but also the
painful facts of their respective histories, which they keep
hidden even from their own children. But after the abrupt
dismissal of their housekeeper and Simon’s increasing
withdrawal into himself, the past can no longer be repressed.
Lindstrøm has crafted a masterpiece about the grave mistakes
we make when we misjudge the legacy of war, common
prejudices, and our own strategies of survival.
