In a saga sparkling with wisdom, wit and style, Linn Ullmann explores the emotional terrain of marriage and motherhood with wicked humour and a tender eye for human frailty.
`Striking . . . a haunted, melancholy story of wandering parents and wayward children, and the ways they permeate one another’s past and future’ Sylvia Brownrigg, Independent
`A wonderful novel . . . Ullmann has an extraordinary touch’ Gaby Wood, Observer
