Description
The Tempest by Steve Sem-Sandberg Andreas returns to his childhood home, a small island off the Norwegian coast, after many years away. He settles back into rural life and begins to sort through the decaying old house, the Yellow Villa, where he grew up with his sister Minna. As Andreas navigates his way through the remnants of his past, he starts to question the shadowy history of the island itself. The island was once a summer colony for deprived evacuee children from occupied Oslo, owned by Jan-Heinz Kaufmann, who had been a minister in the wartime government. But decades later, Kaufmann remains an elusive figure, and the ultimate purpose of his wartime refuge - and his relationship to Andreas and Minna after their parents' sudden disappearance - remains mysterious. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of history, identity, and belonging.
