About the book: 2023 / INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, PUBLISHED IN 31 COUNTRIES. THE ONLY NOVEL THAT WON 4 OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS LITERARY PRIZES IN SCANDINAVIA. "BOOK OF THE YEAR 2018" BY AI THE GUARDIAN , THE TELEGRAPH AND THE DAILY EXPRESS.Liv died when she was just six years old. A boat with a little girl crashed at sea at night. At least that's the story her father Jens told the authorities. The reality turned out to be completely different... In a tiny house on a secluded island, behind boxes of various rubbish that filled Jens Haarder’s workshop, among skillful wooden coffins and insects frozen in resin, his daughter is hiding. She doesn't go to school, doesn't make friends with her peers, and spends her time talking to trees. And all because Jens, who suffers from obsessive behavior, loves her too much. He tries to protect Liv, shelter her, hide her from the whole world... And this love, which has grown into obsession, distorts the girl’s reality. For her, the norm is to sneak into neighbors’ houses at night and steal their things. Norma is the twin brother whom no one sees. It's normal for a father to kill a grandmother. But one day, the Haarder family's normal life begins to crumble... A disturbing and heartbreaking story about what can happen when you love someone too much. When the desire to protect becomes what causes the most harm."Highly original... It reminded me of Stephen King at his best: scary as hell, but with compassion for each character, no matter how lost they may be." - Jake Kerridge, The Daily Telegraph "Deliciously creepy... this novel rivals the darkest fantasies of the Brothers Grimm." – Observer “Resin is one of the most outstanding books I have read in a very long time. Wonderful, compelling and beautifully written... it's no wonder that Resin has won four of Scandinavia's most prestigious literary awards. This book of the year contender will undoubtedly be followed by international awards." – Daily Express “A chilling story of the lengths a man will go to to protect his family and way of life. Liv and the terrifying place she manages to survive in will stay with me for a long time." – Claire Fuller, author of Bitter Orange»
