Maria has retreated to a house in a small town on the Catalan coast, mourning her great love. Everything here reminds her of how happy she was before fate took her beloved away. But then, unexpectedly, a visitor arrives: Emma, her younger sister, with whom she has little contact. Is Emma just an unwelcome intruder crossing the invisible boundaries Maria has set? Will she only evoke painful childhood memories that were unhappy for both? Or is this a chance for a new beginning? Against the backdrop of the wild beauty of the Mediterranean coast in northeastern Spain, Linda Olsson tells the moving story of two sisters who find their way back to each other after many years of estrangement in her new novel.
