Product description
The worst happens where we feel safe: in our own family. What at first looks like an inheritance dispute between siblings after the sudden death of her father becomes a struggle for the older sister Bergljot over the truth that has been repressed for decades. It's not about money and possessions. It's about who owns the past. With unmistakable consistency, Vigdis Hjorth tells of the longing for recognition, of the power of liberation and of the question of whether we can trust our own history.
With 'A Wrong Word', Vigdis Hjorth achieved his international breakthrough. The novel sparked a scandal in Norway about the veracity of literature, won a large number of prizes and cemented Hjorth's status as one of the most important authors of our time, nominated for the International Booker Prize in 2023 and whose work has been translated into 20 languages.
