Set in rural Minnesota, this novel follows a teenage girl entangled in a family’s dark secrets. Fridlund creates an atmosphere of unease and isolation. Moral responsibility is constantly deferred and distorted. Nature is watchful and indifferent. The narrative withholds judgment, forcing the reader to sit with discomfort. A tense, unsettling debut.
