Summary |
A smart, witty and quietly devastating novel about sibling rivalry and modern motherhood, from one of Norway's rising stars. Ida is a forty-year-old architect, single and starting to panic. She's navigating Tinder and contemplating freezing her eggs, terrified that time has passed her by. Stuck in the idyllic Norwegian countryside for a family gathering, Ida is rapidly regressing. She's picking fights with her younger sister, Marthe, and flirting with her sister's husband. But when some supposedly wonderful news from Marthe sends tensions rocketing, Ida is forced to recognize that there's more than one way to finally grow up. |
