Was the poet a child sold across national borders, and can he still be glad he was bought to Norway? All he wants is to be part of the country he grew up in, to acknowledge what hurts but also see what is beautiful. Revelations about the adoption industry have shaken the self-image of many adoptees, and his too. The poems ask who he has been, who he will become, and what it means to be Norwegian.
