A furious old dog, trees with sinister branches, a wolf running away from two monsters and a white puppy lost in the woods. All these adventures and a few more surprises come together in this story that teaches us that your family is not always the one you were born into. Sometimes they are the people by your side who look after you, love you and accept you just as you are.

In the year 2056 social amenities collapse and the countries of the world withdraw from large parts of the earth. The population flees hunger and epidemics. In a city somewhere, a group of families closes the well by which they live and join the river of the displaced. Thirty years later, the same area is nothing more than ruins, where small pockets of people survive.

The title of this book is not a metaphor. Two little nordic novels is exactly what it is: one little novel followed by another, both with a Nordic setting. “The story of Ø” tells how the handful of inhabitants of a tiny island in the Norwegian Sea, which is inevitably sinking due to climate change, decide to safeguard the collective memory of the land that has been their home for generation.

The massacre of a family of farm labourers in Carreu in 1943 shakes the local community and surrounding villages of this corner of Pallars Jussà, Catalonia. But news of the mass murder did not get much further. In an age when it was necessary to offer an image of Spain as a peaceful paradise, censorship silences the press.
