Description
A Prickly and Persuasive Novel of Familial Mistrust Vigdis Hjorth's Will and Testament is a lyrical meditation on trauma and memory, as well as a furious account of a woman's struggle to survive and be believed. The novel tells the story of a family's bitter dispute over their will, which leads one sibling back into the orbit of the family she fled twenty years before. As the truth behind her parents' decision becomes clear, Bergljot is forced to confront a horrible secret from her childhood. A complex exploration of familial relationships and the power of secrets, Will and Testament has been translated into twenty languages and caused controversy in Norway upon its release. This powerful novel is a thought-provoking exploration of trauma, memory, and the human condition.
