♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥Politiken "Ekstraordinær" Politiken "Fascinerende" Guardian Irske Sara Baume tog læserne med storm i sin umådeligt smukke debutroman vælde vokse vakle visne, og i hendes anden roman lever hun op til forventningerne, med en stadig sart og seismografisk, men denne gang også nærmest humoristisk-sarkastisk skrivestil. Linje trådt af trin er en roman om kreativitet og depression; en ganske ung kunsthistoriker opholder sig i sin afdøde mormors hus og prøver at finde ro til at finde ud af, hvad der er op og ned i tilværelsen.Hele tiden tester hun sin hukommelse ved at remse kunstværker af op, ligesom hun holder sig beskæftiget med bl.a. at fotografere døde dyr, alt imens hun undviger fra at se sig selv i spejlet, især i den mentale betydning.

Shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize "Baume is a writer of outstanding grace and style. She writes beyond the time we live in."--Colum McCann "Baume leaves nothing unturned in this dark and sometimes funny excavation of the human heart." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Fascinating, because of the cumulative power of the precise, pleasingly rhythmic sentences, and the unpredictable intelligence of the narrator's mind." --Guardian Struggling to cope with urban life--and life in general--Frankie, a twenty-something artist, retreats to her family's rural house on "turbine hill," vacant since her grandmother's death three years earlier. It is in this space, surrounded by countryside and wild creatures, that she can finally grapple with the chain of events that led her here--her shaky mental health, her difficult time in art school--and maybe, just maybe, regain her footing in art and life. As Frankie picks up photography once more, closely examining the natural world around her, she reconsiders seminal works of art and their relevance. With "prose that makes sure we look and listen,"* Sara Baume has written an elegant novel that is as much an exploration of wildness, the art world, mental illness, and community as it is a profoundly beautiful and powerful meditation on life. *Atlantic "Baume's writing is near-faultless." --Financial Times "A novel of uniqueness, wonder, recognition, poignancy, truth-speaking, quiet power, strange beauty, and luminous bedazzlement." -- Joseph O'Connor

The mountain remained, unclimbed, for the first year that they lived there. Bell and Sigh, a couple in the infancy of their relationship, cut them- selves off from friends and family. Them in and the world out. From the top of the nearby mountain, they are told, you can see seven standing stones, seven schools, and seven steeples. All you have to do is climb. Taking place in a remote house in the south-west of Ireland, this rich and vivid novel spans seven years and speaks to the times we live in, asking how we may withdraw, how better to live in the natural world, and how the choices made or avoided lead us home.
