Synopsis
From the author of The Ice Palace and The Birds
Sixteen-year-old Sissel and her young brother Olaf have been left minding their parents' farm for the night. When a strange family descends on them, lost, in a broken-down car, the children have to cope alone. By the end of this spring night there will have been a birth and a death in the house, and adolescence will have vanished forever.
