They speak different languages and come from different countries thousands of miles apart, but they do not know that. What they do know are the tragedies that took their parents, then wrenched the two of them out of reality and into a strange and perilous world through which they must travel together, understanding only that they must reach the sea. Together, West and Cally embark upon a strange and sometimes terrifying quest, learning to survive and to love--and, at last, discovering the true secret of their journey.

Stegar
Vi har ritualer för att hantera sorg. En dödsannons, en krans, en gravplats. Men vad händer när man inte får del i en sådan gemenskap, när sorgen blir något ensamt och hemligt? Kvinnan i Stegar är nyseparerad tvåbarnsmamma. Hon förlorar en man som har börjat komma henne nära, kanske mer än hon förstått. I starka fragment tecknas berättelsen av vad det var som hände och hur förlust förvandlar en människa. Hur tomrum rymmer sin motsats, får det som finns kvar att lysa så starkt. Stegar är den avslutande delen i Elin Willows tematiska romantrilogi som inleddes med Inlandet och fortsatte med Nya namn. Den utforskar kvinnors inre känslovärldar i olika stadier av ett liv, intresserar sig för tid och tidens gång. Genom att närma sig intensiteten i det vardagliga, i själva görandet av livet, är romanerna experiment i absolut lojalitet mot det upplevda: Willows tonträff är mycket exakt, berättarrösten är fullständigt trovärdig… Ingrid Elam, DN Att skildra det lågmälda och vardagliga med en intensitet som gör att läsaren fastnar kräver sin författare. Elin Willows är en sådan författare. Borås Tidning Elin Willows debuterade med den kritikerhyllade romanen Inlandet 2018, boken filmatiserades och översattes till flera språk. 2021 kom hennes andra roman Nya namn.

Sidor om Sid
Sven Sid, skådespelare, regissör, sångare, fotograf och fyrabarnspappa, är mannen som kan konsten att visa upp den del av sin personlighet som är glad och positiv. Och hans leende smittar. Men leendet är bara en sida av Sven. Rastlös och ångestfull, en arbetsnarkoman som ständigt vill vara i rörelse. ”Ju mera jag har att göra, desto mera gör jag”, säger han själv. Och även om man inte skulle tro det kan han bli rejält arg. Sidor om Sid berättar om teaterprofilen Sven både med hans egna ord och utifrån intervjuer med ett flertal kända teaterprofiler såsom Carl Öhman, Fred Negendanck, Sinikka Sokka och förstås dottern Maria Sid. Med ryms tiotals år av teaterhistoria och hundratals namn och minnen från finlandssvenska teaterscener. Helheten vävs samman och kontexten levereras av teaterexperten Margita Andergård. Andergård hann inte publicera boken före sin död, men med anhörigas lov ges den nu ut postumt.
