Det tolvte huset

Molli is back in her hometown for the first time in years. Her brother Bill lies in a deep sleep in hospital, wired to machines, with a bruise shaped like a footprint on his back. He was found by the river with Ib, whose body was cold, a syringe still between his toes and an iron bar on the ground beside them. Molli sets out to tell of the violence that has always been close: it began in childhood, when their mother Karla was chosen by a terrible man and moved with Bill and Molli into Frank's house. At the river mouth lies an islet where outlaws are buried and where a woman was burned in 1623 for wishing someone dead. A story of a brother and a sister and of surviving childhood.
