A whimsical interweaving of a detective story and a love story in a purely Norwegian setting - this novel has firmly won the sympathy of readers in Scandinavia, as evidenced by its constant reprints. Yoon, the main character, is considered the village idiot and no one takes him seriously. He is actually strange from the point of view of “normal” people: he has his own persistent attachments, principles that are common to all occasions in life, he will never betray his first childhood and youthful love. And it is no coincidence that he is the only one who is able to understand the mysterious and tragic intricacies of events on a small godforsaken island - his Universe.
