Description
In the remote fastnesses of Northern Sweden, a small village survives on meagre means, bound together by hard work, tradition, and the fragile rhythms of everyday life. When an imported rabbit arrives—seemingly ordinary at first—it brings with it a creeping, deadly threat that forces the community to confront fear, guilt, and the limits of what they can control. As one man leaves in search of love and returns changed, his personal longing collides with the village’s unraveling, turning private desire into a public reckoning. With Torgny Lindgren’s darkly lyrical, emotionally charged storytelling, the novel explores love and responsibility, the thin line between hope and catastrophe, and how light—literal and moral—can both guide and expose us.
