Ларс Миттинг — библиография

The year is 1903, and twenty-two years have passed since Astrid Hekne died in childbirth. Her son Jehans lives on a modest smallholding up in the hills near Butangen, having withdrawn from his community. He is drawn to freedom, to fishing and reindeer hunting, and one day meets a stranger over the body of a huge reindeer buck.
Outside the new church in Butangen, Pastor Kai Schweigaard still cares for Astrid Hekne's grave. The village's overworked priest is tormented by his old betrayal, which led to death and to the separation of two powerful church bells cast in memory of two sisters in Astrid's family. Kai is set on finding an ancient tapestry made by the sisters - the Hekne Weave - in the hope that it will reveal how he can remedy his iniquities.
Conceived on an epic scale by Norway's bestselling author, The Reindeer Hunters is a novel about love and bitter rivalries, sorrow and courage, about history and myth, and a country as it enters a new era, about the first electric light and the Great War in Europe, where brother stands against brother.

1971. aasta sügisel hukkuvad Prantsusmaal Esimese maailmasõja lahingupaigas noor norralane ja tema prantslannast elukaaslane. Nende kolmeaastane poeg Edvard kaob jäljetult. Neli päeva hiljem ilmub laps välja kadumiskohast sadakond kilomeetrit eemal. Edvard kasvab üles vanaisa juures üksildases Norra mägitalus. Kui vanaisa sureb, seisab 23-aastane Edvard silmitsi mitme mõistatusega. Miks läksid tema vanemad ohtlikku metsa, ja kas see oli juhus, et sõjaaegne gaasimürsk nende jalge all lõhkes? Ja kes saatis vanaisa matusteks imeilusa haruldasest puidust puusärgi? Vastuseid otsides satub Edvard Shetlandile ja Prantsusmaale ning kaevab mineviku hämaratest soppidest välja oma perekonna loo, mis on tihedalt seotud nii 20. sajandi Euroopa suurte tragöödiatega kui ka ühe rahutu hingega tisleriga, kes läks kolmekümnendatel aastatel Pariisi õnne otsima.
