Gripping, powerful and beautifully written thriller translated from Swedish. An exploration of people co-existing in very different lifestyles in the Swedish mountains and their reactions as a horrific event in the past is brought up again. Eerie descriptions of midge-infested lakes, brooding villagers and dark forests. I read it three years ago but remember it vividly.
