What can push a man to live as a recluse, cutting own the world? Beyond the question that intrigues us from the beginning, this novel portrays with great finesse isolation of pain, the weight of guilt and past mistakes. The past comes back to surface sometime in Fredrik Welin of life in the Harriet traits, his childhood sweetheart, abandoned without a word of explanation of years ago. This intense encounter will bring its share of revelations and turmoil, and will allow Frederik painfully reborn to life and confront what -finally- long gnaws.
