Cold Song is an extraordinary novel where the ultra-modern life crash against old values, and challenges must be met together as a community. It is a book about losing control of one's own history - and about finding a family where you least expect it.
In 2043, New Norway is established on the Arabian Peninsula. As a result of climate change, the country of Norway has frozen over, and with the exception of a few loners and hardy people, the entire Norwegian population has left. Among them, Lydia. One day, a young woman appears, says her name is Tale, and that she works in the Oslo administration in the old country. She says she is Lydia's half-sister, and shortly afterwards they travel back to a frozen Oslo, where Lydia has not set foot in 20 years.
This is the beginning of a journey through snow and ice, via Sami separatists and the freaks around Kvadraturen, and into her own past. At the same time, Lydia becomes acquainted with a new Oslo, where you can drive snowmobiles across Valkyrie Square, and the buildings sing in the wind.
