This playlist follows Sophie from the intimacy of ordinary Norwegian life into the vast, unsettling questions her lessons open up: who we are, where the world came from, and how much of reality we can trust. Instrumental pieces move between clarity, surprise, and mystery; the vocal songs echo the book’s questions about identity, knowledge, and seeing the world anew.
