Nine-year-old Maja grows up in a dysfunctional family: a tyrannical father, a loving but repressed mother, in between a lot of silence and things that nobody explains to her. When her father kills her mother, he tears a hole in the world for everyone who is left behind. From one day to the next, Maja loses her family, her home, her sense of security and the certainty of who she belongs to. Her godmother Liv, an astrophysicist, becomes a ray of hope: She gets Maja excited about the wonders of the universe. Together they look at the stars and set off in search of support, hope and a new place in the world.
A novel about the echo of violence, about structural failure and about how a community is shaken when a femicide shatters everything.
