"A windswept, wave-tossed, altogether irresistible novel of literary suspense
- I truly didn't want it to end" A. J. FINN
"In its scale, scope and ambition, The Sea Cemetery is truly epic" COLIN WALSH
"This saga will delight fans of 'Succession'" Elle
"The strength of its storytelling and its romantic energy make it a perfect
example of an authentic page turner" Livres Hebdo
There is no love lost between the Oslo and Bergen branches of the powerful
Falck family. So when its steely matriarch dies with no will to be found, the
seeds of an inheritance dispute are sown.
Yet her legacy could be more damaging still. A manuscript confiscated by the
secret police in the seventies holds devastating secrets about the Falcks'
activities during the war. Her granddaughter Sasha is set on uncovering the
truth, whatever the cost, bringing her into conflict with her father, whose
family loyalty is matched only by his patriotic fervour. And in the wings
waits Hans Falck, war doctor and philanderer, head of the impoverished Bergen
branch, who has a few secrets of his own.
It all leads back to the sinking of the SS Prinsesse Ragnhild, lost to a
British mine in 1940. But can the official verdict be trusted? The shocking
truth lies 300 metres under the sea.
Part literary thriller, part sweeping family saga, The Sea Cemetery is a dark
and dramatic tale of secrets, betrayals and doomed love, drawing on the true
story of one of Norway's most devastating maritime disasters.
Translated from the Norwegian by Deborah Dawkin
