Description
Seven Days in August is a poignant and powerful exploration of grief and relationships. After a devastating tragedy, Otto and Sofie struggle to navigate their life together, facing the harsh realities of mortality and the pain that infects their household.
The story unfolds over the course of just one week, as Sofie's physical pain intensifies alongside her marital strife. Brit Bildoen's lyrical prose slowly reveals the horrors of a national tragedy, peeling back the layers of sorrow that threaten to tear them apart.
