Handsome, grey-eyed, he is a friend of her parents and a teller of stories. Soon, he begins to write-sending letters that arrive at her home in the Swedish forest, drawing her deeper into a fated love offering escape from an isolated childhood.\nTanja steps through a door into adult experience from which there is no return, a relationship where desire and excitement give way to shame and control. Years later, now a poet armed with the language to name what happened, she finds a box of Eg's mildewed letters and begins to read.\nHauntingly lyrical and fearlessly honest, A Girl Left the Room is the story of one woman's fight to reclaim the girl she once was.\n'Gripping, chilling, and extraordinarily clear-eyed. . . A novel that everybody should read' Rosie Price, author of What Red Was\n'An entire world of complicity unfolds moment by moment. . . It kept me pinned to the page' Sîan Hughes, author of Pearl\n'It's compelling. It's shocking. It's hypnotic in its clarity. . . A stunning debut from one of Denmark's leading poets' Christina Patterson, author of Outside, the Sky is Blue\n'So blunt, so well written, Lolita speaking out, telling her truth. A superb book' Dorthe Nors, author of Mirror, Shoulder, Signal","brand":"Pushkin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51781609554208,"sku":"9781805333821","price":12.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781805333821_2467554.jpg?v=1780554983","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-girl-left-the-room-ulrikka-s-gernes-9781805333821","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
