In this hypnotic, shimmering novel, Le Prix Medicis-winning author Steve Sem-Sandberg reveals the power of secrets to destroy generations of families. After many years away, Andreas returns to his childhood home on a small island off Norway's coast. Searching through the belongings of his late foster father, Andreas uncovers the sinister events of the island's past as a summer colony for deprived children, and learns about the disappearance of his parents. Rich in echoes from Shakespeare's play, The Tempest is a majestic and deeply compassionate novel, exposing the inherited guilt that haunts an island overgrown with myths.
