The Desire of the Soul (Själens begär)

Christine Falkenland

Many years have passed since Ernst last saw his cousin Cora when they meet in the damp orangery at the manor. He is struck by disappointment because he finds her uninteresting, not at all as he remembered her. Plain . Yes, even ugly. But at the same time he is surprised by his own excitement when he touches her hand. Ernst becomes more and more obsessed by his cousin, and his actions a more and more unpleasant turn.

 

In this strong and intense novel, Christine Falkenland again shows her ability to dig into the human souls darkest corners.
