Bearing witness to this suicide is another woman, on a business trip from a distant country, with a swollen belly that later gives birth to a stillborn baby.

In the wake of her pain, the second woman remembers her own litany of losses, of a language, a country, an identity, when once her family fled a distant war. Weaving between both narratives and written in looping prose rich with meaning, The Singularity is an astounding study of grief, migration and motherhood from one of Sweden's most exciting new writers.
