ARC for review. To be published March 25, 2025.

Three stars for this, but, honestly, I’m only saying that because that was my note when I finished it. It was only a few weeks ago but I can’t seem to remember much about this book which can’t be a good sign.

Emilie is burned out from her exhausting job and busy life and decides to spend a few days in the country. Once there she visits a river where she comes across seven people who appear to be led by a woman named Sara. She eventually makes contact with them and learns the stories of how they all ended up together, living life differently.

It’s coming back to me now. This translated Swedish novel was apparently very popular in that country and I’ve always found stories of communal living interesting, so I did enjoy this., The characters are fascinating (some more than others, naturally) and one can see how things just…happen. If it sounds like something you might like, you probably won’t be disappointed.
