2/5 Flipping the transparent cover to show the flowers hidden behind people. The people turn to flowers at a graveyard after so many of the protaganists family and friends take their life. Blomsterdalen is translated to flower valley in English. 



3/5 Each chapter begins with a death caused by suicide in Greenland. The chapter mentions the gender, age, and the circumstance surrounding their suicide. The crow is a symbol often mentioned in the book which foreshadowed death and was therefore used in the beginning of each chapter when mentioning another suicide.
