Martin Berg is slowly falling into crisis. Decades ago, he was an
aspiring writer who'd almost finished his novel, his girlfriend was
the shockingly intelligent and beautiful Cecilia Wickner, and his
best friend was the up-and-coming artist Gustav Becker. But
Martin's manuscript has long been languishing in a desk drawer,
Gustav has stopped answering his calls, and Cecilia has been
missing for years. Not long after they were married, she vanished
from his life and left him to raise their two young children alone.
So who was Cecilia? Martin's eccentric wife, Gustav's enigmatic
muse, an absent mother - a woman who was perhaps only true to
herself. When Martin's daughter Rakel stumbles across a clue about
what happened to her mother, she becomes determined to fill in the
gaps in her family's story. Collected Works is a captivating,
characterful and witty novel that asks searching questions about
motherhood, family relationships, the stories that we tell
ourselves and those that we inherit.
