Beskrivning

In a quiet Scandinavian town, a sinister secret begins to unravel, drawing the attention of both locals and outsiders alike. The seemingly idyllic setting hides deep-rooted tensions, where generations of tradition clash with modernity. At the heart of this unfolding drama is a wealthy family whose legacy is intertwined with the mountain that looms over them, a majestic yet ominous presence that seems to guard its own mysteries.

As whispers fill the air and shadows lengthen, a tangled web of intrigue emerges, suggesting that beneath the surface of everyday life lies a darker story. The narrative skillfully transitions between multiple perspectives, allowing readers to witness the impact of fear and power on both personal relationships and the broader community. Each character grapples with their own demons, steering them deeper into the heart of betrayal and ambition.

The author crafts a suspenseful atmosphere, punctuated by moments of introspection and revelation, as the past collides dramatically with the present. With each twist and turn, the tension escalates, drawing the reader further into the mountain's enigmatic grasp. Through vivid imagery and compelling prose, the story reflects on the cost of silence and the vital importance of confronting one's heritage.

Ultimately, the journey transcends generational conflicts, exploring universal themes of identity and belonging. The legacy of the mountain becomes a mirror for the characters, revealing their innermost fears and desires. As they grapple with the truths hidden within their lives, they must confront the question of what it truly means to be free from the weight of the past.

I really wanted to like it as the beginning and altering POVs caught my attention. However, no matter how many times I try to chip at it, I always end up turning to a different book. I think ultimately this is a DNF that I might end up finishing in the future, but I might not. Thank you to NG and the publisher for an arc in exchange for a review.
