But the air she breathes hasn’t understood it yet.
An adult woman has become chronically ill and chooses isolation over treatment. She spends a lot of time in the forest, walking logging roads, feeling the rain and pine needles falling on her head.
What does it mean to let nature reign? What is important before death?
In her flat, she writes long lists of the good things in her life, things she has now denied herself: an orange in a snow drift on ski trips, three bottles of wine with two friends. There is someone called E who she wants to tell everything, but when they meet, an honest conversation is impossible.
Kristin Ribe’s novel is a fervent and sensory exploration of time, choices and awareness.
