Description

A controversial bestseller from one of Norway's most intelligent and highly-regarded novelists. Four siblings. Two summer houses. One terrible secret. A woman walks her dog in the snow, drinks wine by the fire and considers the inheritance dispute that's dragging her back towards the family she fled years ago, and the degree to which the horrors and conflicts of the past should be allowed to shake her present. This emotionally searing novel is at once a wrenching look at a family fractured and a meditation on the nature of trauma and memory.
