Krátky popis
An astonishing mind-bending novel about a woman's discovery of a
community of swan-people from one of Iceland's greatest writers. In
the not-too-distant future, a young spy named Elisabet Eva is about
to discover something that will upend her carefully controlled
life. Elisabet's work is the lynchpin of her existence in the city;
her friends and social life centre around the Special Unit. But
recently Elisabet has found herself taking long solitary walks near
the lake. One day, she sees two creatures emerging from the water,
half-human, half-swan. She follows them through tangles of thickets
into a strange new reality. Elisabet's walks turn into regular
visits to these swan women, who reveal to her the enigma of their
secret existence, and their deepest desires. Pulled further and
further into the monomaniacal, and often violent, quest of the
swanfolk she finds her own mind increasingly untrustworthy.
Ultimately, Elisabet is forced to reckon with both the consequences
of her involvement with these unusual beings and a past life she
has been trying to evade.
