Harbour
On a winter trip home to the island of Domaro, Anders and Cecilia take their six-year-old daughter Maja across the ice to visit the lighthouse at Gavasten. And Maja disappears. Leaving not even a footprint in the snow. Two years later, alone and more or less permanently drunk, Anders returns to Domaro to confront his despair.
On a winter trip home to the island of Domarö, Anders and Cecilia take their six-year-old daughter Maja across the ice to visit the lighthouse at Gavasten. And Maja disappears. Leaving not even a footprint in the snow.
Two years later, alone and more or less permanently drunk, Anders returns to Domarö to confront his despair. He slowly realises that Maja's disappearance is not the first inexplicable tragedy to strike the islanders. Nor is everyone telling him all they know; even his own grandmother, it seems, is keeping secrets.
And what is it about the sea? There's something very bad happening on Domarö. Something that involves the sea itself.
Harbour is a heartbreaking study of loss and guilt: a novel whose epic climax pits the infinite force of nature against the implacable love of a father for his child.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist is praised for its atmospheric setting and blend of horror with emotional depth. The narrative weaves supernatural elements with a haunting exploration of grief and loss. Critics highlight Lindqvist's skill in creating suspenseful and eerie scenes, often drawing comparisons to Stephen King. However, some readers find the pacing uneven, with a story that sometimes feels complex yet rewarding for fans of the genre.
