Set in a rural community in Norway, this story of an unlikely friendship between two eleven year old girls seems simple, almost a fairy tale. But there is a dark secret that cannot be shared and one girl disappears in the middle of winter with a devastating impact on the other, and the fairy tale becomes a psychological nightmare. I read it in an afternoon but it haunted me for days. Magnificent.
