Peut-être n'est-ce rien d'autre que lui, ce meneur de chiens rustre et glaçant, qu'elle est venue chercher dans ce chalet perdu au milieu du Grand Nord. Cet homme aux mains violentes et au désir brut, presque bestial, qui la fait trembler sous sa fièvre en fendant son corps de plaisir. Mais à force de passion et de soumission, le rapport de force s'intensifie entre les deux amants. Jusqu'au jour où l'un d'eux doit sauver sa peau... Avec la même justesse que pour la Trilogie de Neshov, Anne B. Ragde sonde l'incommunicabilité des êtres dans un nouveau roman brûlant et puissamment érotique.
La vie de Lotte, huit ans, s'écroule : ses parents divorcent, une honte dans la Norvège des années 1960. Divisée entre une mère inapte au bonheur et un père adoré qui lui échappe, rejetée par ses amies, étrangère à elle-même, elle retrouve un peu de sa joie l'été, dans la ferme de ses grands-parents, ou dans l'ombre des non-dits et des secrets, elle tentera de se réinventer.
Twelve-year-old Hans Thomas lives alone with his father, a man who likes to give his son lessons about life and has a penchant for philosophy. Hans Thomas' mother left when he was four (to `find' herself) and the story begins when father and son set off on a trip to Greece, where she now lives, to try to persuade her to come home. En route, in Switzerland, Hans Thomas is given a magnifying glass by a dwarf at a petrol station, and the next day he finds a tiny book in his bread roll which can only be read with a magnifying glass. How did the book come to be there? Why does the dwarf keep showing up? It is all very perplexing and Hans Thomas has enough to cope with, with the daunting prospect of seeing his mother. Now his journey has turned into an encounter with the unfathomable...or does it all have a logical explanation?
