The Morning Star

Nine individuals experience life-altering changes in this thrilling new work by an internationally acclaimed author. Described as 'addictive' by the Daily Telegraph, the novel captures readers with its compelling narrative, as noted by the New York Times. Set during a lingering August night, Arne and Tove are spending time with their children in their summer residence in southern Norway. Meanwhile, Kathrine, a priest, is traveling back from a Bible seminar while grappling with doubts about her marriage. Elsewhere, journalist Jostein enjoys a night out, and his wife Turid, a nurse in a psychiatric unit, is working through an eventful night shift as one of her patients escapes. Amidst these unfolding dramas, an extraordinary star ignites in the sky, setting off a chain of enigmatic events. Alongside these six central characters, three others find their lives taking unforeseen and tumultuous turns. As Brandon Taylor, author of "Real Life," shares, "I read The Morning Star compulsively, and stayed awake all night after finishing it." With its masterful storytelling and epic scope, this novel is a 'captivating' read, according to the Observer.
