The island of Otteroya, a rural backwater of Norway, provides the
setting for Book Two of Tiller's multi-award winning Encircling
trilogy. Its singular premise continues: an enigmatic central
character, David, has lost his memory and his friends and family
write letters at the behest of his psychiatrist about the lives
they once shared. The encircling narratives offered by two
childhood friends and the midwife who attended his birth, reveal
both the roots of his waywardness and, in a shocking twist, the
traumatic secret of his identity. Tiller uses a carefully scored
polyphony of voices to present this epic saga of dysfunctional
lives misshapen by poverty. As in the work of our own Ken Loach or
Mike Leigh, its strength lies in its close domestic focus.
Encircling: Book 2 is an intimate and modern portrait of Norwegian
life that is both searingly honest and uncomfortably true.
Encircling 2 is the second volume of a multi-award winning trilogy,
published to acclaim in Norway.
