How do I go about describing this time? The small pockets of time where there were no other witnesses: It’s these I want to pick up, like jellyfish, and hold to the light. See the filaments inside.
Johanne rents a room in a white house in the countryside. Almost without noticing, she slips into a relationship with Mikael, the man who lives there. It develops into a love lasting a lifetime. With the relationship comes Mikael’s daughter, his ex-wife, and the characteristic landscape surrounding them. Seventeen years later, Johanne sits in the house alone, beginning to pen down their story as the days grow shorter and autumn turns to winter.
Fading Light is a novel about the cycles of the female body, about the fear of losing the one you love, and about appreciating the here-and-now fully; a delicate and powerful exploration of the threads that tie us to a place and to each other.
