Drowned by Therese Bohman

Drowned by Therese Bohman

Drowned, set in the idyllic countryside during a short-lived Swedish summer, gets under one's skin from the first listen, creating an atmosphere of foreboding in which even the perfume of freshly picked vegetables roasting in the kitchen becomes ominous.

On the surface, the story couldn't be simpler. A single young woman visits her older sister, who is married to a writer as charismatic as he is violent. As the young woman falls under her brother-in-law's spell, the plot unfolds in a series of precisely rendered turns. Meanwhile the listener, anticipating the worst, hopes against hope that disaster can be averted.

More than a mere thriller, this debut novel delves deep into the feminine soul and at the same time exposes the continuing oppression of women in Sweden's supposedly enlightened society. Mixing hothouse sensuality with ice-cold fear on every page, Drowned heralds the emergence of a major new talent on the international scene.

Therese Bohman is a columnist for Expressen, writing about literature, art, culture, and fashion. Her debut novel, Drowned, was published by Other Press in 2012, followed by The Other Woman in 2016. She lives in Sweden.

Marlaine Delargy has translated novels by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Kristina Ohlsson, Henning Mankell, and Helene Tursten, as well as A Fortune Foretold by Agneta Pleijel and Therese Bohman's Drowned and The Other Woman. She serves on the editorial board of the Swedish Book Review. She lives in England.
