The Forbidden Place, Susanne Jansson

Mary Woodbury

April 21, 2019

A book, television show, or movie set somewhere in Scandinavia leads the reader or viewer to expect dark, foreboding landscapes and ominous, threatening events. Susanne Jansson’s sparkling debut novel The Forbidden Place fulfills these expectations in a myriad of absorbing ways.

–Run Spot Run

In the remote Swedish wetlands lies Mossmarken: the village on the edge of the mire where, once upon a time, people came to leave offerings to the gods. Biologist Nathalie came in order to study the peat bogs. But she has a secret: Mossmarken was once her home, a place where terrible things happened. She has returned at last, determined to confront her childhood trauma and find out the truth.

Mossmarken är en ödslig plats med dimhöljda vidder, hukande tallar och sjunkande jordar. En gång i tiden begravdes offer till gudarna här, och rykten säger att människor försvinner spårlöst än idag.

Hit kommer den unga biologen Nathalie för att göra fältexperiment till sin doktorsavhandling om våtmarker. Snart står det dock klart att hennes egentliga ärende är mer personligt.

När en kropp hittas nedsjunken i mossen ger det en skrämmande anledning att påbörja efterforskningar i det förflutna – såväl för polisen som för Nathalie personligen. Hennes väg korsas av den erkända fotokonstnären Maya Linde, som även arbetar som polisfotograf i utredningen. De rör sig båda fram genom minnets och markernas djupa lager, mot chockerande upptäckter och länge dolda sanningar.

Offermossen är en suggestiv berättelse om sankmarker, biologi, barndom, död – och vad som egentligen är verkligt och närvarande.
