The reader is brought on a timeless journey together with a girl without a name - through the barren landscape of Siberia on a train, destination unknown. Exposed to situations that urge her to gradually come out of her existence as an automaton, the girl is forced to make some critical decisions even if they appear frightening and at times alien. An enigmatic fiddler at the train station, a criminal Icelandic entrepreneur and a young Philosopher in the woods together with what turns out to be a rather mysterious meeting on the Siberian tundra, are only meetings along the girl's way to exploring herself. A series of events leads her back to the Central station where she once began her journey. As she returns she is ready to reunite with her deepest fears. In this intriguing debut, the author energetically builds a bridge between dream and reality, individual and universal perception, in a beautifully naked and rare language which combines expressive dialogue with poetry that remind us of Japanese literature and Nordic playwrights.
