Every year, Eystein leaves home for a week to go fishing. And every year, Alma has spent the week alone in their house out at the mouth of the fjord, with apple trees and sheep as her sole company.
But this year, Henrik and Louisa appear, two strangers in a plum red car. Their presence changes the way Alma sees her familiar surroundings – and as the days go by, something changes within Alma herself. When Eystein returns, every trace of the couple is gone, but yet, everything is different than before.

Car Ride is a quiet, intense novel about a surprising encounter, set in the grandiose coastal landscape of Western Norway.
