Madapple is the story of Aslaug Hellig, a bright girl who was raised in near isolation by her genius, but disturbed Mother. When Aslaug's Mother dies, Aslaug goes to the only place she can remember her Mother having taken her. The place, it turns out, is a former Monastery-turned-Church, run by an Aunt she never knew she had. Aslaug moves into the Church with her Aunt Sara and her children, Sanne and Rune, and gets caught up in the disturbing world they have created for themselves.
Aslaug's story and her Mother's story are very interwoven. The more she learns about herself, the more she understands her Mother and why she abandoned the world for isolation on their small farm.
Fascinating and unconventional story. Part courtroom drama, part a dream-like narration of a sheltered and (maybe) delusional girl, it's certainly a book unlike anything I've read before.
I loved this book!
