Product details

Money to Burn" by Asta Olivia Nordenhof is the first novel in the Scandinavian Star series. It is a striking exploration of late capitalism, framed around the 1990 Scandinavian Star ferry disaster in which 159 people died in a fire that was never fully explained. The novel intertwines the story of a middle-aged Danish couple, Kurt and Maggie, with a journalistic exploration of the tragedy.

Kurt runs a bus company and is struggling with emotional and financial turmoil, while Maggie cares for their home and mourns their grown daughter. Both carry the scars of poverty and hardship from their youth, and their deteriorating relationship reflects broader societal issues. The narrative probes into themes of money, acquisition, trauma, abuse, and the devastating effects of capitalism on ordinary people.

Key Features

Through a combination of intimate character study and incisive commentary on corporate greed and financial obfuscation, Nordenhof indicts how capitalism can lead to human and social destruction, as exemplified by the tragedy that may have been caused by insurance fraud. The prose is spare and hypnotic, creating a powerful meditation on resilience, love, and the corrosive impact of economic systems on lives and relationships.
