A story that provokes thought and moves with Lunde’s distinctive writing.
What remains when time stops?
On an ordinary Tuesday in June, human time comes to a halt. Children stop growing, no more babies are born, no one ages, no one dies. Yet nature continues its course, night follows day, plants grow, and animals follow the cycle of life.
For Yeni, who is sick and whose life is in danger, the stopping of time is salvation. For Jakob, who is waiting to become a father, it is an obstacle. While it changes the entire relationship between the newly in-love couple, Ellen and Philip. The summer days pass, filled with tension.
Despair grows; what must be done for normality to return? In this gripping, contemplative novel, the author imagines what would happen if, suddenly, time stopped for humans. A multilayered story that speaks about time, our relationship with nature, human mortality, and ultimately the meaning of life, through the familiar, melancholic yet redemptive writing of Maja Lunde.
