About this audiobook
It's the Roaring Twenties in Malou von Sivers' intimate family saga. The world buzzes with fresh optimism, but the villa in Äppelviken is steeped in sorrow. Axel Silversjö's beloved wife has died giving birth to Edwin-a child forever marked as the one who destroyed their perfect world.
Hope returns when Axel meets Hedvig, a young woman brimming with life. Love might be his salvation, but can he let go of his shattered dreams?
We witness Edwin's childhood through the turbulent thirties and forties as the world lurches toward another war. Edwin bears his father's anguish and swears he'll never become like him. Yet he fears he's inherited something darker-a wound that feels like a family curse.
