The Summer of Ellen

In Agnete Friis' evocative audiobook, a middle-aged architect named Jacob navigates the turbulent waters of his life amidst a bitter divorce when he receives a call from his great-uncle Anton. This prompts Jacob to revisit a rural Jutland farm he hasn't seen since 1978, where he must confront a haunting question about the mysterious disappearance of his classmate's sister. As he reflects on his teenage obsession with a young hippie named Ellen, Jacob unravels the complexities of memory and the impact of past tragedies that shaped his life.
