Description
After a life of relentless demands in the city, Emelie retreats to the quiet hills of the countryside—only to stumble upon a mysterious community of seven people living beyond society’s rules. Led by the enigmatic Sara, the group’s carefully maintained “alternative” existence is built from shared pain, stubborn hope, and the longing to belong on their own terms. When an outsider arrives and is drawn to their way of living, the fragile balance of roles, loyalties, and unspoken histories begins to shift, forcing everyone to confront what they’ve chosen—and what they can’t control. With sharp social commentary and a darkly comic tenderness, this debut novel explores love, community, alienation, and the unsettling power of connection, in a style that’s incisive, humane, and impossible to forget.
