The Orphan (Hittebarnet)

Katerina Janouch

In The Orphan Cecilia Lund has just discovered she is pregnant with her fifth child. Summer is in full bloom and there are many things going on. Birthday parties, vacation and a weekend trip for two with her husband John. The pregnancy is as surprising as overwhelming for Cecilia. Is the marriage stable enough to manage another child?

 

Her life is turbulent, but there are many things going on at the maternity ward, where Cecila works, as well. One late night she discovers an abandoned chid on the doorsteps to the maternity ward. Who has left the child - and why? In her attempts to solve the mystery, Cecilia puts herself at big risks. Both physically and emotionally.

 

In The Orphan, which is the third book in the Cecilia Lund series, the relation between Cecilia and her husband become more and more complex. The reader finds new sides in Cecilia both in her relation to her family and to the mystical circumstances around the orphan.
