With HAVETS KIRKEGÅRD, Aslak Nore has written the epic family story that I have been looking for for a long time now. From page one, the author captures readers with his multidimensional characters and a skillfully constructed plot that continues to surprise to the very end of the book. It’s a reading pleasure of the best kind and Aslak Nore is a master of great storytelling.
