The Bird Tribunal by Agnes Ravatn
In a remote Norwegian village, a young woman named Allis seeks refuge from her troubled past by taking a job as a housekeeper for Sigurd, a mysterious and reclusive man with secrets of his own. As the two navigate their isolated existence, a tense and unsettling atmosphere envelops their interactions, revealing layers of guilt, redemption, and the haunting echoes of their pasts. The story unfolds with a slow-burning intensity, exploring themes of solitude, human connection, and the inescapable nature of one's own conscience.
