Berg

Decades after his boyhood summers at Berg, Mattias Bergmark, now sixty-three, hears again from Sonja, the older woman he worshipped as a child. She is close to eighty, gravely ill, and still living on the inherited estate, and she asks him to come before it is too late. The place stirs both dread and comfort in him. Moving back and forth in time, the book returns to 1944, when war and death hung over the household and something happened that marked his half-brother Jonas, left Mattias with guilt, and kept Sonja a riddle.
