What is Drowned : A Novel about?

Drowned, set in the idyllic countryside during a short-lived Swedish summer, gets under oneвЂTMs skin from the first page, creating an atmosphere of foreboding in which even the perfume of freshly picked vegetables roasting in the kitchen becomes ominous. В В В On the surface, the story couldnвЂTMt be simpler. A single young woman visits her older sister, who is married to a writer as charismatic as he is violent. As the young woman falls under her brother-in-lawвЂTMs spell, the plot unfolds in a series of precisely rendered turns. Meanwhile the reader, anticipating the worst, hopes against hope that disaster can be averted. В В В More than a mere thriller, this debut novel delves deep into the feminine soul and at the same time exposes the continuing oppression of women in SwedenвЂTMs supposedly enlightened society. Mixing hothouse sensuality with ice-cold fear on every page, Drowned heralds the emergence of a major new talent on the international scene. Review "A slim novel with a taut narrative line and a sense of impending disaster....A tale of identity and tense personal relationships, one that as a film property would have appealed to Hitchcock or de Palma." —Kirkus Rev
