520    "An unnerving and riveting psychological drama that 
       challenges our notions of how we view others and how we 
       construct our own sense of self. Mia is an elementary 
       schoolteacher in Denmark, while her husband, Frederik, is 
       the talented, highly respected headmaster of a local 
       private school. During a vacation in Spain, Frederik has 
       an accident and his visit to the hospital reveals a brain 
       tumor that is gradually altering his personality, 
       confirming Mia's suspicions that her husband is no longer 
       the man he used to be. Now she must protect herself and 
       their teenage son, Niklas, from the strange, blunted being
       who lives in her husband's body--and with whom she must 
       share her home, her son, and her bed. When it emerges that
       one year ago Frederik had defrauded his school of millions
       of crowns, the consequences of his condition envelope the 
       entire community. Frederick's apparent lack of concern 
       doesn't help, and longstanding friendships with colleagues
       are thrown by the wayside. Increasingly isolated, Mia 
       faces more tough questions. Had his illness already 
       changed him back then when he still seemed so happy? What 
       are the legal ramifications? In her support group for 
       spouses of people with brain injuries, Mia meets a defense
       attorney named Bernhard. Together they help prepare for 
       Frederik's court case by immersing themselves in the 
       latest brain research and in classic philosophical 
       questions of free will, while simultaneously navigating 
       the uncertain waters of their growing mutual infatuation. 
       Jungersen's clear, spare prose and ceaseless plot twists 
       will keep readers hooked until the last page"--|cProvided
