Surroundings

Four people meet on an isolated island - the lighthouse keeper Mardon, his wife Maria, their daughter Marion and the writer Krafft, who has come to write. Little by little they find themselves caught in a web of jealousy.

Praise for Surroundings:

"Devilishly well written"
(Hufvudstadsbladet, Sweden)

"great writing is when a writer can make places, things and people play so intensily together.”
(Politiken, Denmark)
