Liv died when she was only six years old. The boat with the little girl crashed in the sea at night. At least, that's the story her father Jens told the authorities. The reality, however, turned out to be quite different...
In a tiny house on a secluded island, amidst boxes of various junk cluttering Jens Haarder's workshop, among skillfully crafted wooden coffins and insects frozen in resin, his daughter hides. She doesn't go to school, doesn't make friends with peers, spends time talking to trees. And all because Jens, suffering from obsessive behavior, loves her too much. He tries to protect Liv, shelter her, hide her from the whole world...
And this love, turned into obsession, distorts the girl's reality. For her, it's normal to sneak to the neighbors at night and steal their things. Normal is her twin brother, whom no one sees. Normal is when her father kills her grandmother. But one day, the familiar life of the Haarder family begins to crumble...
A disturbing and heart-wrenching story about what can happen when you love someone too much. When the desire to protect becomes what causes the greatest harm.
'Highly original... It reminded me of Stephen King at his best: terrifying as hell, but with compassion for each character, no matter how lost they may be.' - Jake Kerridge, Daily Telegraph
'Delightfully creepy... this novel rivals the darkest fantasies of the Brothers Grimm.' - Observer
