Tekst på norsk/Text in Norwegian.

"Sommeren 1979 skjer det noe forferdelig øya Hammarsö i Østersjøen. Hvert år har halvsøstrene Erika, Laura og Molly tilbrakt sommeren her hos sin temperamentsfulle far Isak Lövenstad. Ingen tar på seg skylden for det som hender denne sommeren, og det skal gå mer enn tjuefem år før søstrene vender tilbake til øya, denne gangen for å besøke sin gamle far. Romanen utspiller seg i spenningsfeltet mellom skyld og forsoning, mellom erindring og glemsel. Den skildrer tre kvinners liv, samtidig som den er et farsportrett."

"In the summer of 1979 there is something terrible island of Hammarsö in the Baltic Sea. Every year, half-sisters Erika, Laura and Molly spent the summer here with his temperate father Isaac Lövenstad. Nobody blames the happening of this summer, and it will be more than twenty five years before the sisters return to the island this time to visit his old father. The novel unfolds in the tension between guilt and reconciliation, between memory and forgetfulness. It portrays three women's lives, while being a father's portrait."--Google translate from the Norwegian
