Overview: From prize-winning poet Ulrikka Gernes comes her debut novel acclaimed for its bold exposing of an art world that preys on the girls it turns into muses.
At her father’s art exhibition, fourteen-year-old Tanja is introduced to Eg. Handsome and grey-eyed, he is a friend of her parents, a man who makes his living with words and sees something extraordinary in her. Soon, letters begin to arrive at her home in the Swedish forest. Pages spinning a private fairytale dreamed up just for her, inviting Tanja into a love that promises escape from her lonely childhood.
But when the two finally meet, Tanja steps through a door into an adult experience from which there is no return, where desire and excitement soon give way to shame and control. Years later, now a poet herself and armed with the language to name what happened, she uncovers a box of Eg’s letters coated with mildew and begins to read.
Hauntingly lyrical and fearlessly honest, A Girl Left the Roomis a novel about a relationship of intense connection, unequal power and one woman’s defiant effort to reclaim the girl she once was.
