Dorthe Nors: Range, Gebunden

Klappentext

Gunn Haven, professor of astrophysics, has taken a leave from the institute where she teaches and moved back to the rural area of her upbringing. She's there for the clear night sky and for solitude, as she tracks gamma-ray bursts and unravels the origins of the universe. But while Gunn studies celestial bodies, she must also contend with earthly ones. There are her nearest neighbours: Brit, who knows everyone's business, and Jenny, Brit's inquisitive teenage daughter. There is her young protégé: a not-quite son whom Gunn has sent away to find his own path yet longs to hold close. There are remote colleagues and dead loved ones, often in her thoughts. And then there is the menacing Gable Woman, a local adversary, furious after catching Gunn on her private property and determined to teach her a lesson. Reaching from the everyday to the infinite, from seasons, stars, memories, and the sensory details of rural life, Range is a gripping exploration of the distances we cross through time and human connection.
