Tempel by Anne-Cathrine Riebnitzsky

A historical novel that retells one of the most important stories in our culture. Judea is ruled by the tyrant Herod, who loses his close friendship with the Roman Emperor Augustus, who orders a census in Herod's kingdom. Tempel follows a caravan leader who sees a new star in the sky, and two women in Judea whose destinies are miraculously intertwined. One woman is too old to become pregnant, and the other too young and risks stoning if her fiancé rejects her. A gripping story that brings us closer to a time and event that still has significance today.

De fortabte sønner by Sune Gylling Æbelø and Andreas Gylling Æbelø

Brothers Sune and Andreas grow up in a Christian environment, but both carry a secret: they are homosexual. De fortabte sønner is their personal story of inner and outer struggles, of living with shame and guilt, but also of liberation and reconciliation. The book explores how love and faith can be in conflict, and how finding oneself can be a journey – filled with both pain and redemption.

Kun til navlen by Linea Maja Ernst

A critically acclaimed novel about seven friends in their thirties who gather in a summer house to revive old memories and tackle life's big questions.

Amidst the dinner table conversations, Gry struggles to find her place among her colourful, eccentric friends. A novel about friendship, longing, and the complexities of being an adult.
