About the Audiobook
The Tale of a Ferry Girl – A Lyrical Meditation on Mortality and Meaning
In The Tale of a Ferry Girl, sixteen-year-old Tytti serves as a mythical guide ferrying souls to the afterlife. Across a series of poignant vignettes, she meets an elder, a child, and a conflicted young person, each facing the end of life. Through their final crossings, Tytti engages in soul-searching conversations about destiny, purpose, and the struggle to let go.
Bound in service to the Queen of the Dead, Tytti must confront her own grief and isolation as she questions the nature of duty and the price of free will. Set in a timeless realm where the sun always shines and memories fade, this haunting drama draws inspiration from the elegiac beauty of Sibelius’s soundscapes.
Bonus Content: Includes an exclusive interview with playwright Lilia Malkonen, exploring Finnish folklore, disability, identity, and the inspiration behind Tytti’s world between life and death.
A profound and atmospheric reflection on loss, longing, and the quiet courage it takes to guide others while finding your own way.
