Four siblings. Two summer houses. One terrible secret. When a
dispute over her parents' will grows bitter, Bergljot is drawn back
into the orbit of the family she fled twenty years before. Her
mother and father have decided to leave two island summer houses to
her sisters, disinheriting the two eldest siblings from the most
meaningful part of the estate. To outsiders, it is a quarrel about
property and favouritism. But Bergljot, who has borne a horrible
secret since childhood, understands the gesture as something very
different-a final attempt to suppress the truth and a cruel insult
to the grievously injured. Will and Testament is a lyrical
meditation on trauma and memory, as well as a furious account of a
woman's struggle to survive and be believed. Vigdis Hjorth's novel
became a controversial literary sensation in Norway and has been
translated into twenty languages.
