Description
“Halfbrother” (Norw. Halvbroren) is a novel written in 2001 by the Norwegian writer Lars Sobie Kjristensen.
It tells the story of a Norwegian family after the Second World War.
The novel was published in Norwegian by the Cappelen publishing house in 2001 and translated into English in 2003. The book won its author the Brage Prize and the Literary Prize of the Northern Council. A TV miniseries based on the novel was shown on NRK in 2013.
Speaking of this novel, it’s impossible to avoid the word “saga”: indeed, it is a real Scandinavian saga—with intertwined fates and hidden coincidences, dramas, unbearable love, and unspoken pain.
This is a novel about time, trust, and love; about the subjective perception of events and relationships between people. It’s a novel about life.
