Description
Johanna, a successful artist, returns to Oslo for a career retrospective, but her homecoming is overshadowed by the complex and fraught relationship with her mother. As Johanna navigates the demands of her exhibition and the ghosts of her past, she confronts the deep-seated estrangement that has defined their connection. This novel delves into the intricate dynamics of family, exploring themes of betrayal, unspoken resentments, and the enduring, often painful, ties that bind mothers and daughters. Through sharp prose and unflinching honesty, the narrative probes the difficult truths that lie beneath the surface of familial love.
