Dødsverk

In a private care home outside Paris, Birgitte Solheim lies on her deathbed. Blind, fully dependent, and nearing the end, she drifts between memories and moments of lucidity, visited by caretakers, ghosts, and fragments of her past. The days are long, the loneliness unbearable, and death feels like the only remaining relief. Deathwork is a stark and lyrical meditation on aging, mortality, and the slow unraveling of self. It is the third and final novel in Kjersti Anfinnsen’s acclaimed trilogy about retired heart surgeon Birgitte Solheim, following The Last Signs of Love and Moments for Eternity - both widely praised and sold to 13 countries. With quiet intensity and emotional precision, Anfinnsen gives voice to a woman facing the inevitable, from a place deep in the dark. Foreign Sales: The books about Birgitte are sold to 13 countries.
