Autumn 1940. In the north of occupied Norway, near the city of Bodø, the cruise ship Princess Ranghild dies. Among the hundreds who drowned was shipowner Tur Falk. But his wife, Vera Lynn, and newborn son Boa survive. 75 years later, Vera commits suicide, and this tragedy is clearly connected with that long-ago shipwreck. Half a century ago, Verina's brilliant writing career was cut short when she tried to tell the truth about that fateful day, and now Olav's daughter, Sasha, begins to unravel her grandmother's story. "The Sea Cemetery" is a real Norwegian great novel about a family dynasty, about the struggle for power and capital, about loyalty to the state in the light of morality, about love and betrayal. This is a romantic yet tragic journey along the Norwegian coast, past and present, a story in which truth collides with family loyalty and may even destroy the family empire. The novel has been translated into 17 languages, nominated in France for GRAND PRIX by ELLE magazine.
