THE INTERNATIONAL AWARD WINNER
GUARDIAN BEST TRANSLATED FICTION 2025
On the last day of his life, ferryman Nils Vik chooses to head out onto the fjord, as he has for many years. But today, his trip is different. As his trusty boat reaches the sea, a lifetime of passengers join him from beyond the grave, among them his rescue dog, the American photographer he thought of as his friend and young Jon Anderson, whose funeral Nils attended. But Nils is truly waiting for just one passenger: his beloved wife Marta, whose absence has marked each day since her passing. Approaching the end of his journey, his expectation grows - will he be reunited with her too?
'A heartfelt reckoning of a human life' Lisa Ridzen, bestselling author of When the Cranes Fly South
'Saturated with tenderness, achingly real and profoundly moving' Anne Michaels, Booker-shortlisted author of Held
Translated by Alison McCullough
