On Midsummer's Eve, 1974, Annie Raft arrives with her daughter Mia in the remote Swedish village of Blackwater to join her lover Dan on a nearby commune. On her journey through the deep forest, she sumbles upon the site of a grisly double murder--a crime that will remain unsolved for nearly twenty years, until the day Annie sees her grown daughter in the arms of one man she glimpsed in the forest that eerie midsummer night.

The Spring
ISBN: 9781909408579 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Kerstin Ekman's novel Blackwater took the world by storm in 1993 and has now been translated into over twenty-five languages. But her reputation as one of Sweden's best-known and most successful authors rests just as securely upon the series of four novels she wrote between 1974 and 1983, which are based on the author's childhood home town of Katrineholm some forty miles southwest of Stockholm. The first of these, Witches' Rings, which portrays the final years of the nineteenth century in a small urban community on the cusp of industrialisation, was published by Norvik Press in 1997. The...

Witches' Rings
ISBN: 9781909408562 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Witches' Rings portrays the history of a rural society in a new light, tracing its development through the lives of working class women and children rather than authorities and decision-makers. The central character is a woman so anonymous that her name is not even mentioned on her gravestone. This novel, written in 1974 and now published for the first time in English, is the first volume of a tetralogy which follows a Swedish community through a hundred years of recent history to the present day.

With this sequence of novels focussing...

ISBN: 9781909408227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.
