Every summer throughout their childhood, Erika, Molly and Laura, half-sisters by different mothers, gather on the magical Baltic island of Hammarsö to stay with their charismatic father, Isak.
Until one year when a childhood betrayal causes an incident of such senseless cruelty that it alters forever each sister's life. Twenty-five years later, the three women return to the island to see their father, and finally confront the spectre that has continued to haunt them.
Linn Ullmann is a graduate of New York University, where she studied English literature. She returned to her native Oslo in 1990, where she now lives with her husband and children and works as a journalist and literary critic.
