A family story of epic scale, by the author of NORWEGIAN WOOD and
THE BELL IN THE LAKE. "An intricate story about war, family,
secrets and,yes, wood ... An engaging, satisfying read" The Times
"So cleverly plotted, and it builds up such effortless dramatic
momentum as it zeroes in on its conclusion" Scotsman Edvard grows
up on a remote mountain farmstead in Norway with his taciturn
grandfather, Sverre. The death of his parents, when he was three
years old, has always been shrouded in mystery - he has never been
told how or where it took place and has only a distant memory of
his mother. But he knows that the fate of his grandfather's
brother, Einar, is somehow bound up with this mystery. One day a
coffin is delivered for his grandfather long before his death - a
meticulous, beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Perhaps Einar is not
dead after all. Edvard's desperate quest to unlock the family's
tragic secrets takes him on a long journey - from Norway to the
Shetlands, and to the battlefields of France - to the discovery of
a very unusual inheritance. The Sixteen Trees of the Somme is about
the love of wood and finding your own self, a beautifully intricate
and moving tale that spans an entire century. A TIMES BESTSELLER
Mytting's book is as much a romantic historical thriller as it is a
book of promise, a page-turner as it is a reflective journey into
selfhood, history, life's meaning and individual moral
responsibility - Mika Provata-Carlone, Bookanista Translated from
the Norwegian by Paul Russell Garrett
