Helmer is a fifty-five-year-old farmer whose life, marked by solitude, is about to change.

Written in direct language, the narrative invites readers to question the decisions that define a life.
This novel was awarded the IMPAC Prize 2010 and the Premi Llibreter, translated from Dutch by Maria Rosich. The original title is «Boven is het stil» and it belongs to the Raig Globulars collection.
