Preview: Hear it

THE SECRETS OF the past meet the shocks of the present. Aslaug is an unusual young woman. Her mother has brought her up in near isolation, teaching her about plants and nature and languagebut not about life. Especially not how she came to have her own life, and who her father might be. When Aslaugs mother dies unexpectedly, everything changes. For Aslaug is a suspect in her mothers death. And the more her story unravels, the more questions unfold. About the nature of Aslaugs birth. About what she should do next. About whether divine miracles have truly happened. And whether, when all other explanations are impossible, they might still happen this very day. Addictive, thoughtprovoking, and shocking,Madappleis a pageturning exploration of human nature and divine interventionand of the darkest corners of the human soul.
