Sophie and Lotte are village girls and best friends since childhood but their dynamic shifts when Romy, a free-spirited girl from the city, joins them in high school. The trio is carried by mutual fascination, but also rivalry, jealousy, and even obsession. When Sophie and Romy move to the big city after school, leaving the vulnerable Lotte behind, their friendship faces a breaking point. Then Romy suddenly cuts all ties to them and old wounds reopen, forcing Sophie to confront the buried memory of a fatal night that changed everything.
Marie Menke writes powerfully about an obsessive friendship between village youth and big-city anonymity, and the force that binds three young women together while threatening to destroy them.
