The novel returns to Melhus and the village of Enevarg, scene of the author’s earlier novels Trass and Flommen, but people and place have changed. The new age has arrived for good: the village now has a business park and a culture park, a lottery win, equity funds and a debt-collection agency. Johannes Ewald Renton has served with Norway’s peacekeeping forces and is on his way home to be reconciled with a family he has not seen for six years, and it is the history of the Rentons that the book unfolds, a story of family ties made and broken, love and betrayal, and a curse passed down the generations.
