Intrigued? Well read on to discover the synopsis and an excerpt from Ivar Leon Menger’s What Mother Won’t Tell Me, which is out January 9th 2024.

Once upon a time, a young woman named Juno lived in a cabin, deep in the woods on a remote island. She had only Mother; Father; her little brother Boy; and a book of fairytales for company. They lived in constant fear, because danger lurked on the other side of the lake, seeking them out – “strangers”, as they called them, who wanted to destroy the family.

They lived safely, under seven strict commandments. Until Juno was spotted by a stranger. 

In one moment, Juno’s world comes crumbling down around her. It’s clear the island she calls home is not the safe haven she believed it to be and that more than a few secrets have been kept from her. Juno doesn’t know her parents. She doesn’t know herself. But whoever Mother and Father are, they’ll do anything to keep Juno to themselves.
