En savoir plus sur le livre

A windswept, wave-tossed novel of literary suspense, this epic tale unfolds the bitter rivalry between the Oslo and Bergen branches of the powerful Falck family following the death of their matriarch, who leaves no will. This absence ignites an inheritance dispute, but her legacy holds darker implications. A manuscript seized by the secret police in the seventies reveals devastating secrets about the Falcks' wartime activities. Granddaughter Sasha is determined to uncover the truth, even as her quest brings her into conflict with her father, whose loyalty to the family is matched only by his patriotic fervor. Meanwhile, Hans Falck, a war doctor and philanderer from the impoverished Bergen branch, harbors his own secrets. The narrative weaves back to the sinking of the SS Prinsesse Ragnhild, lost to a British mine in 1940, raising questions about the official verdict. The shocking truth lies deep beneath the sea. This dark and dramatic tale of secrets, betrayals, and doomed love is part literary thriller, part sweeping family saga, drawing inspiration from one of Norway's most devastating maritime disasters. Translated from the Norwegian by Deborah Dawkin.
