Darkness Without Limits

Darkness Without Limits is a poetic, haunting and unforgettable novel about a boy's upbringing in a small rural village from the age of ten until he is twenty. He lives a life in constant fear, of other people, of not having any future and of a darkness inside him that makes his world increasingly unreal. After high school, the boy spends a restless summer with a group of outsiders that challenges his worldview and sanity. The novel follows his slow descent into darkness and his attempt to fight the evil inside him. Peter Legård writes with great insight into the world of children and youth and with the feeling that there are no 'ordinary people'. Despite the dark themes, this novel ultimately concerns our shared humanity and that there is always hope.
