![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the present-day, documentary filmmaker Alice has been obsessed with this town since she was a child, as her grandmother’s entire family disappeared in the incident (her grandmother had moved away and was living in Stockholm at the time), and Alice decides to make an excursion to the town with a small filmmaking crew to uncover the truth about what happened.Īnd the premise is indeed the strongest thing about it – it kept me turning pages simply because the central mystery was so bizarre and fascinating. There were only two people left behind – a newborn baby and a woman stoned to death in the town square. The Lost Village, originally published in Swedish as Staden in 2019, has a rather striking premise: in the 1950s, all 900 inhabitants of a remote Swedish town vanished without a trace.
