A woman wakes up in the middle of the night. A strange man is
in her bedroom. She lies there in silence, paralyzed with fear. The
woman is an author and the man one of her characters, one in a long
line that waits in her driveway for the time when she’ll tell their
stories. He is so desperate that he has resorted to breaking into
her house and demanding that she begin.
He, the author decides, is named Alvar Eide, forty-two years old,
single, works in a gallery. He lives a quiet, orderly life and
likes it that way—no demands, no unpleasantness. Until one icy
winter day when a young drug addict, skinny and fragile, walks into
the gallery. Alvar gives her a cup of coffee to warm her up. And
then one day she appears on his doorstep.
Broken is an unconventional, subtle, and disturbing mystery
from a master of the form.
