Freyja

“An eerie novel that will keep you up late into the night.”—Eowyn Ivey “Freyja tingles the senses like an incipient freeze.”—Janelle Brown “Elegant and confident . . . Mythic and grounded.”—Victor LaValle The unsolved case of a young girl’s disappearance reopens after twenty years in this atmospheric novel of suspense set in Reykjavík and the Icelandic coast. Unnur has secrets. A single mother to a beloved daughter, she lives a deliberately quiet life in Reykjavík, where she works at a bakery under an assumed last name. She has spent years pushing away haunting half remembrances of the last summer of her childhood, when her otherworldly friend Freyja disappeared from a black-sand beach in the remote Dark Valley. Unnur’s safety—and her daughter’s—now hinges on discretion.
