‘Those who have had to endure too many farewells no longer seek belonging behind just one door.’
Book Description
After a loss he cannot make sense of, Ole can no longer bear the life he is living.
So he leaves—hoping that distance might bring him peace.
Along the way, he meets two women who take his need for closeness as seriously as his fear of commitment. Nothing remains simple: not desire, not responsibility, not even the question of whom he is hurting—or whether he is only hurting himself.
In a remote community, far from conventional ways of living, Ole begins to confront grief, exhaustion, and his longing for freedom. Here, relationships are not fixed but negotiated—honestly, vulnerably, and at a cost.

🎥Who is the main character?
The story revolves around the complex and multi-layered characters Ole, Lotta, and Anne. Each of them carries their own challenges, hopes, and dreams, bringing the narrative to life and making it both engaging and compelling.
Ole is an outsider. At 35, he suffers from severe depression stemming from a traumatic childhood.
A workaholic by nature, he is an IT specialist who prefers immersing himself in technical challenges and his career rather than engaging with his emotions or connecting with other people.
As a result, he withdraws from those around him, only to realise later that their closeness is essential for his solace and healing.
Lotta is the child of two hippies who settled on La Gomera while travelling the Hippie Trail. At 32, she is polyamorous, balanced, and deeply committed to living in harmony and peace with herself and the environment.
Anne becomes Ole’s companion on his journey. The 28-year-old teacher trainee struggles with her repressed bisexuality and her overbearing, conservative father. She longs to be more than just an object of desire. Until she can achieve that, she channels her frustration through exercise-induced anorexia.
