A mesmerising trip across Central Asia, this travelogue offers an unforgettable journey through the former Soviet Republics—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan—each of which gained independence after the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. Prizewinning author Erika Fatland explores how these nations have evolved, revealing stories that even seasoned travelers might not know. In Kyrgyzstani villages, she encounters victims of bride snatching and visits the desolate Polygon in Kazakhstan, a site of Soviet nuclear tests. She meets Chinese shrimp gatherers by the Aral Sea and witnesses the fall of a dictator. Traveling incognito in Turkmenistan, she engages with human rights activists in Kazakhstan and survivors of the 2010 Osh massacre. Fatland also meets German Mennonites who settled in Kyrgyzstan two centuries ago. Throughout her journey, she observes the clash between ancient customs and modern gas production, as well as the tensions between ethnic Russians and the local majority in a nation navigating its Nationalist identity. Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the starkness of Soviet architecture, her openness to the people and landscapes creates a rare and unforgettable narrative. Translated from Norwegian by Kari Dickson.

Dice di chiamarsi Ulf, e cerca un posto dove nascondersi. Cosí ha viaggiato per 1800 chilometri su treni e autobus fino a un paesino sperduto, nell'estremo nord della Norvegia. Aveva dei buoni motivi per tradire il Pescatore, il signore della droga con cui lavorava a Oslo, ma ora ha i suoi sicari alle calcagna. Inutile continuare a scappare. A Kåsund, almeno, ha trovato un capanno da caccia, una donna quasi bella e un ragazzino che non vedeva l'ora di parlare con un forestiero. Non dovrà attendere a lungo per scoprire se, anche per uno come lui, è possibile una redenzione. Oppure se davvero la speranza non è altro che un'invenzione del diavolo.

In the depths of winter a killer stalks the city streets. Two women are found drowned in their own blood. A third woman is hanged from a diving board. YOU ARE ALLOWING THIS KILLING TO GO ON. The crime scenes offer no clues, the media is reaching fever pitch, and the police are running out of options. IT'S TIME THIS WAS STOPPED ... There is only one man who can help them catch the killer. But Inspector Harry Hole doesn't want to be found ... BECAUSE I HAVE APPOINTED THE NEXT VICTIM.

Può una donna decidere di cambiare vita a settant’anni? Secondo Ellinor, sì. Anche se ha sempre lasciato che fossero le circostanze a scegliere per lei, appena rimasta vedova abbandona gli agi di un quartiere di lusso di Copenaghen per tornare in quello operaio dove ha trascorso l’infanzia e l’adolescenza. Il quartiere è cambiato: adesso ci sono prostitute, pusher e hipster, ma a lei non importa, le basta solo che dalle finestre della sua nuova casa si veda il portone di quella dove ha vissuto da bambina. In una lunga lettera alla sua migliore amica morta tanti anni prima, Ellinor fa il bilancio della propria vita, segnata da inganni e tradimenti, da dolori e lutti e da un grande, terribile segreto. Con una scrittura incisiva ed elegante, Jens Christian Grøndahl scava nel profondo dell’animo femminile restituendoci, attraverso l’appassionante ritratto di una donna al di fuori dagli schemi, un affresco della borghesia di oggi. Il ritratto di un matrimonio, un libro sull’amore e sulle relazioni famigliari. Il ritorno in grande stile di uno dei migliori autori europei contemporanei.

The night the first snow falls a young boy wakes to find his mother gone. He walks through the silent house, but finds only wet footprints on the stairs.

Follows Harry Hole's efforts to solve the murder of a television celebrity whose demise is linked to a string of serial killings.
