RAVN A classic girl-meets-boy-meets-devil story from a Danish literary superstar A woman
meets a man on a train in Copenhagen and agrees to visit him in London. She has lived many
lives and as she sits out a two-week quarantine in his apartment she begins to tell her story.
Years ago desperate for money she sold herself to a man called T. He offered her a suitcase
full of money and lavish gifts in exchange for total control of her body. In the bed between
them lay a large kitchen knife and the promise of an iconic death. At the last moment she
chose life and fled. Now in London the woman watches the people around her searching for
clues on how to live in the face of betrayal and loss and what freedom really looks like.
Intimate revelatory and ultimately revolutionary this is a portrait of a woman driven to the
brink of destruction who learns to believe in love again. Praise for Money to Burn :
