FORLORN

FÖRAKTET – FORLORN

By Marcus Jarl

ISAK IS A photographer who has retired to Stockholm after a long period in New York. His life is regimented and anonymous, and that is exactly how he wants it.

ONE DAY, HE receives the phone call he has been dreading, the one that will force him back to Motala, where he grew up. The small town where he had to hide who he was.

IT’S ABOUT EMMA. The sister he hasn’t spoken to or seen since that dark day many years ago when he left his childhood home. Isak can no longer escape the memories of who he once was, memories filled with shame and self-loathing. And everything Emma left behind.

FORLORN IS A novel about a life. Marcus Jarl skilfully weaves together times and places, gathering fragments and piecing them together into a vivid portrait of a human being.
