Winner of Sweden's most prestigious literary award, a novel about an otherwise sensible woman's descent into the obsession and delusion of unrequited love. Â Ester Nilsson is a sensible person in a sensible relationship. She knows what she thinks and she acts according to her principles. Â Until the day she is asked to give a lecture on renowned artist Hugo Rask. The man himself sits in the audience, spellbound, and when the two meet afterwards, he has the same effect on her. Â From then on Ester's existence is intrinsically linked to that day, and the events that follow change her life forever. Â Bitingly funny and darkly fascinating, WILLFUL DISREGARD is a story about total and desperate devotion and about how willingly we betray ourselves in the pursuit of love.
