Liv, an academic, has left behind a half-grown-up daughter and a divorced husband, taken on a translation assignment and settled in Mexico City. Rather than a tame everyday life in modern Norwegian society she prefers sudden transitions and stark contrasts. She moves to a world inhabited by pensioned-off hippies, Mexican gangsters and a sad poet with a writing block; of people in free fall and dizzying highs, of longing, killings and betrayal. The life she lives in Mexico is one on the wild side, an existence of pleasure and stained bed linen, beyond the obligations her life has consisted of for so long.

«Marlen Ferrer makes an impressive debut … The Lost Ones is a true and original novel, elegantly composed …»
Klassekampen
