Norhavs na vrhu hriba

Since her mother's supposed death, Ariana Firsen has lived with her nasty aunt Krista, and now that she is taking a break she has had to come back from Ljubljana to the godforsaken village of Privežice. There is nothing better to do than drink with the locals at the Sunny Drop inn and visit her grandmother Rozika in the madhouse at the top of the hill. Her only distinction is that, with the local holiday approaching, she has once again been chosen, what an honour, to turn the gajžule in a ritual: a seventeenth-century device that was supposed to bring the insane back to their senses. But a great deal is going on beneath the surface. It reads like a gripping crime story, and it is also a story of loneliness, self-discovery, rebellion and love.
