Jana is returning home to see her twin brother Bror, still living in the family farmhouse and drinking himself into an early grave. They're both damaged by childhood experiences, buried deep in the past, but Jana cannot keep running. Alive with the brutality and beauty of the landscape, it's the story of a homecoming without a home: a story of forgiveness. A novel steeped in darkness and violence - about abuse, love, complicity, and coming to terms with the past.
