A sprawling, noisy, densely populated novel about family, how the past returns at the most inopportune times, and what it means to grow up after being abandoned. At the center is Samuel, a teacher and longtime aspiring writer. His mother left her husband and young son and suddenly reappeared decades later – in the news after a scandalous and absurd act that has the entire country talking. Samuel decides to delve into the past (escaping his dreary present) and begins investigating the life of his strange mother. Who was she – the hippie radical portrayed by the press, or the humble housewife Samuel remembers? He will uncover many secrets, including those held by Norway, the homeland of his ancestors. And at the same time, he will come to understand himself. This is both a “great American novel” and a quiet family chronicle, which has everything: the noise of the era, laughter, sadness, the twists and turns of modern times, and unexpected tenderness.
