Inheritance and will

Four siblings, two summer houses, a terrible secret – the best-selling book by one of the most important Norwegian novelists. When the dispute over their parents' will intensifies, Bjørgliot is drawn once again into her family circle from which she fled twenty years ago. Her parents decided to leave two summer houses to her sisters, and deprive the older siblings of the most important part of the inheritance. To strangers, it is a quarrel over property and favoritism. But Bjørgliot, who has carried a terrible secret since childhood, understands this decision as something entirely different: a final attempt to suppress the truth and a new harsh insult to the wounded. This novel is a literary reflection on trauma and memory, as well as a passionate description of a woman's struggle to survive and believe her story. Veddis Yut's novel caused a major literary buzz in Norway, won many awards, has been translated into more than thirty languages, sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide, and is her first work translated into Arabic.
