There are things that simply do not exist. Like an ice chunk that falls from the sky in the middle of summer, tragically taking the mother of eight-year-old Saara. Shortly after, Saara's aunt experiences the improbable when she wins the lottery for the second time – and, in shock, falls into a three-week-long Sleeping Beauty slumber. And then there’s the fisherman from Scotland, who is repeatedly struck by lightning – yet continues to challenge his fate time and again. What happens when, in the blink of an eye, nothing is as it was? When a small coincidence shakes the entire world? In her award-winning new novel, Selja Ahava tells a story about the unpredictable whims of fate, painful and honest, comforting and enchantingly light.
