My name is Eli. I am the one telling the story and the one the story is about. The one with the voices in her head.
Eli Larsen is a talented author and film-maker. She writes books. She directs films. She wins awards. She is a success. But Eli has a secret. Since she was a child she has shared her life with Espen, Erik, Prince Eugen and Emil. Sometimes they're friendly, sometimes comforting, but sometimes they want to hurt Eli and the people she loves most.
In this candid and beautiful novel Beate Grimsrud offers an unflinching insight into the secret world of the mind.
