Karin has a strong will and Anja is easily hurt, and the two women's friendship is uneasy. Each struggles to reach the other in their conversations, and they remember one shared summer of their girlhood differently. Something then ended the magic of childhood and left a mind damaged. The novel turns over memory and its gaps, blame, and the line between being strong and being weak.
