Colony

One morning, Emelie can´t get out of bed. Her therapist calls it burnout. Her neighbour calls it the tiny work death. She needs to get away from the brightness of the city lights, the noise of the people, the constant demands, so she goes to the woods, pitches her tent overlooking the lake, breathes. And that’s where she sees them, the Colony … The Colony is a magnetic and deeply touching story about love, group dynamics, and the power we have over other human beings. The novel received a long list of rave reviews from critics, and was one of Sweden’s top-selling literary fiction books of the year, winning multiple prizes.
