One of the most prosperous countries, Sweden, decided to create a 'new beautiful world', cleansing it of people who do not meet the standards of a healthy lifestyle - of those whose weight exceeds a certain government norm. War has been declared on obesity. Baking, meat, sweets, and much more are now illegal. If you do not fit into the weight norm, you receive official warnings, neighbors stare, insults fly after you on the street. But this is just the beginning. Churches are gradually turning into fitness centers, farms are closing down, all methods of losing weight - from diets to surgery - are aggressively advertised on TV... Young historian Landon watches in despair as his girlfriend gradually sinks into anorexia. Nurse Helena lost her job because, according to the new regulations, overweight nurses have a negative impact on patients. Writer Gloria falls into a trap set by the Health Party. Fat people gradually start disappearing. And then simply large people disappear. When Helena disappears, Landon sets out to find her. Osa Eriksdotter's frightening, incredibly realistic, and absolutely gripping novel is a terrifying vision of how discrimination can quickly become the norm, how civilization can slip away from a person, and how easily we can all be deceived.
