Description

Edvard's family story is one of epic scale, spanning an entire century and weaving together war, family secrets, and the love of wood. Lars Mytting's novel, translated from Norwegian, is a beautifully intricate and moving tale that explores the complexities of identity and the power of craftsmanship. A mysterious event from Edvard's childhood sets him on a quest to unlock the family's tragic secrets, taking him on a journey from Norway to the battlefields of France. Along the way, he discovers a beautiful and meticulous piece of craftsmanship that holds the key to his family's past. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Edvard must confront the darkness of his family's history and the true meaning of his own existence. With its engaging and satisfying narrative, The Sixteen Trees of the Somme is a pacey read that also reflects on life's meaning and individual moral responsibility.
