Money To Burn

Beskrivelse

Money to Burn is a deeply personal and thought-provoking novel exploring how capitalism impacts the human heart. This is the first book in the Scandinavian Star series, marking a significant achievement in Danish literature.

An intimate look at love, loss, and the shadows cast by a national tragedy.

Maggie and Kurt are trying to keep their marriage intact after their only daughter has left home. They live together in an old farmhouse in Nyborg, yet they constantly miss the chance to connect, unable to talk about the past that once brought them together.

Decades earlier, a passenger ferry named the Scandinavian Star was engulfed in flames, resulting in the death of 159 people. This disaster remains a haunting national tragedy in both Denmark and Norway. It was later uncovered that the fire was not an accident but a botched insurance fraud.

Money to Burn explores the mysterious link between this catastrophe and Maggie and Kurt’s lives. It delves into how money can corrupt and strain even the closest relationships, raising the question of whether true escape is ever possible.

Critics have praised the novel for its electric tension and intelligence, calling it both a moving love story and a sharp critique of modern society.
