Mother's Heart

Anne-Lise Boge

Finally, a new series by the bestselling author Anne-Lise Boge! Frost covers the ground and it is nearly Christmas time in the little town of Landvik. The year is 1928 and the young people are taking advantage of the ice-covered fjord to go skating. Maren is the daughter of the merchant Thorvald Bredli, who owns and runs the only store in town. Bredli is a wealthy man, with a lot of influence in the community. And in Landvik, the division between the haves and the have-nots is unmistakable. Maren has just turned 17. She is an only child and the apple of her father’s eye. Since Maren is the only one who can carry on his legacy, he expects her to find a husband of equal social standing. One day the indigent boy Trond Lia is given a job in the storehouse. Trond—the boy with the silky curls and deep-blue eyes… Maren falls head-over-heels, and an innocent crush deepens into love. The young woman is unaware of the dramatic consequences this relationship will have in regard to her life and the lives of others. 4 books, 4 bookw will be published in 2010.

Lars Saabye Christensen

Kim Karlsen, the leading character in the Saabye Christensen novel Beatles, arrives in Oslo by ferry from Denmark. He is looking for meaning, for something to believe in. He finds Vivi... In Lead, Lars Saabye Christensen twists together strands from several of his earlier novels. The author was awarded the Norwegian Booksellers’ Prize for this novel. ‘You are caught by its magic language – a phosphorescent language that Saabye masters with almost intimidating skill – and that, as well as new perspectives on Oslo, offers us a portrait of a man, Kim.’POLITIKEN, Denmark ‘Lars Saabye Christensen is masterly in his depiction of young love as it teeters between trust and fear, weakness and arrogance.’STAVANGER AFTENBLAD

The House of Crazy

Karin Fossum

I am Hanja. I am not doing well. My life was nice, it really was. But it ended, the niceness. So I jumped through a store window. And then I woke up on the other side, here at Varden - my body covered with 160 stiches. This place is nothing like the outside, that is for sure. People are seriously crazy. My problem is that I do not really see the point of being here, alive. Except for Stetson, I guess. He makes life a little better. And Odin. And Mofa and Maria. And the Angel. But apart from them there is not much to live for. Actually, maybe for Freiner. And Hedda. And the stormcenter and Tussi and Formel and Ruben and Jørgen and Reza. At least they spice up my life, you might say. The House of Crazy is a novel full of dramatic events and destinies, but also episodes and persons rendered with great humour and warmth. Karin Fossum takes care of her characters with tenderness and insight. An outstanding novel.AFTENPOSTENFossums best, so far...DAGSAVISEN

Garmann's Street

Stian Hole

Garmann has now started at school and the world seems even more unsafe. ‘Are you a wimp? Light it!’ says the horrible Rolf to Garmann. The grass fire at the stamp man’s house is put out and Garmann realises that friendships are made when you least expect it. *Beautifully illustrated using the same techniques as inGarmann’s Summer. ‘A work of art in itself … Now [Stian Hole] is ready with a new book about Garmann, and it has become just as great as the first one.’NRK‘Still world class … So consistent it is time to start talking about a Hole universe of its own.’Bergens Tidende

Haakon & Maud IV

Tor Bomann-Larsen

The fourth volume of Bomann-Larsen’s monumental work about Norway’s first royal couple in modern times begins with the outbreak of the First World War. Europe’s royalty and aristocracy crumble and the Russian Tsar and his family have been executed. King Haakon is still considering abdication. And while the war rages in Europe, two factions at home confront each other in what threatens to become a civil war – a war between Norway’s social classes. Tor Bomann-Larsen (1951–) wields one of Norway’s sharpest and wittiest pens, whether he is writing or drawing. In recent years he has been best known for his epic works chronicling the reign of King Haakon and Queen Maud, and for his biographies of Sigurd Christiansen and Roald Amundsen.
