'A thrilling mystery under a cold Icelandic sun. This beauty is an absolute page-turner.' - Satu Rämö, author of The Clues in the Fjord 'An Icelandic tale, a haunting mystery, and a paean to the messy bonds of family.' - Victor LaValle, author of Lone Women 'A spectacularly eerie crime novel . . . had me turning pages late into the night!' - Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites __________________________________________________________ Years ago, a child went missing. Now it might happen again. Unnur is a single mother to her beloved daughter, Lilja, and lives a deliberately quiet life in Reykjavík, working at a bakery under a fake name and trying to forget the last summer of her childhood. But when her ex-husband returns to Iceland with his new girlfriend, Unnur's carefully crafted reality begins to fray. Because years ago, Unnur's childhood best friend, Freyja, disappeared and maybe this new woman had something to do with it. Maybe she might do the same thing to Unnur's daughter. Faced with the risk of losing her daughter, Unnur must look to her past and remember what happened all those years ago. Where did Freyja go? And what did Unnur do? Steeped in Icelandic folklore and myth, Freyja is at once a gripping story of a child's disappearance, a testament to the power of a mother's love, and an enthralling tale of redemption and forgiveness from a gifted new voice. __________________________________________________________ 'An eerie novel that will keep you up late into the night.' - Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow Child 'Mythic and atmospheric . . .
