{"product_id":"drowned-9781635425055","title":"Drowned","description":"\u003cb\u003eSet in the idyllic countryside during a short-lived Swedish summer, this page-turner gets under the skin, creating an atmosphere of foreboding in which even the aroma of freshly picked vegetables roasting in the kitchen becomes ominous.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Marina has left behind her stalled relationship and floundering academic career in Stockholm and travels to rural Sk?ne to visit her sister, Stella. They haven't seen each other in some time, and Stella now lives with a much older, quite famous author, Gabriel. The couple resides in a beautiful old house full of books, gorgeous flowers and, as Marina soon learns, plenty of secrets. Despite herself, Marina becomes more and more enthralled by the enigmatic and unpredictable Gabriel, even as she becomes convinced that something isn't right about her sister's new love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNothing is as it seems in this spellbinding novel of psychological suspense that combines hothouse sensuality with ice-cold fear on every page. More than a mere thriller, it delves deep into the feminine soul and at the same time exposes the continuing oppression of women in Sweden's supposedly egalitarian society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTherese Bohman\u003c\/b\u003e is a columnist for \u003ci\u003eExpressen\u003c\/i\u003e, writing about literature, art, culture, and fashion.
