I chose the book entirely because its understated cover seemed to promise a slowly developing, evocative read. And that's what it delivered. Set in under-populated northern Sweden, there is a dual story line. School teacher Lelle has spent the last three years obsessively seeking his daughter, who disappeared from a lonely bus stop early one morning, and of whom no trace has ever been found. His marriage has disintegrated, and he too, friendless and dysfunctional, is falling apart. Seventeen year old Meja and her mother Silje move to the area after Silje meets a local man online. Silje is mentally troubled, and has for years dragged her daughter from place after place as she gets together with a succession of unsuitable men. Meja seems to find a way out from this when she meets a boy and falls in love with him and with his family who live self-sufficiently, having excluded themselves from the modern world. The story as it unfolds perhaps brings few surprises. However, the landscape of dense, dark forest filled with abandoned houses, lakes and secrets encroaches upon everything, and it's this unsettling landscape and its secrets that carries the story forward. It's immersive, slow and the ending isn't particularly surprising. But the power of this novel is in the slowly emerging characters of the main protagonists, and in the depiction of the untamed landscape which they inhabit.

Three years ago, Lelle’s daughter went missing in a remote part of Northern Sweden. Lelle has spent the intervening summers driving the Silver Road under the midnight sun, frantically searching for his lost daughter, for himself and for redemption. Meanwhile, seventeen-year-old Meja arrives in town hoping for a fresh start. She is the same age as Lelle’s daughter was – a girl on the brink of adulthood. But for Meja, there are dangers to be found in this isolated place. As autumn’s darkness slowly creeps in, Lelle and Meja’s lives are intertwined in ways, both haunting and tragic, that they could never have imagined.
