520    "In the waning days of the German occupation of Norway, 
       Karin and her husband move from Oslo to a tiny village in 
       the south with their young son, the narrator. There they 
       aim to live out their dream of caring for those who can't 
       look after themselves. They have spent months building a 
       modest house with rooms for patients, and it's soon filled
       with three adult men who are psychologically unstable--
       including Karin's uncle Josef, who suffered a head injury 
       in a carriage accident--and five siblings whose parents 
       have been declared unfit, and who are the subjects of much
       conversation in the village. This small and idiosyncratic 
       community persists for nearly three decades. After his 
       parents' deaths, the son returns to clean out this unusual
       home. The objects of his childhood retain a talisman-like 
       power over him, and key objects--including an orange crate
       where he and his sister slept as infants, Josef's medal of
       honor, his mother's beloved piano, and many others--unlock
       vivid memories. In recounting the ways that the siblings 
       both are and are not a part of his family, he reveals his 
       special relationship with Ingrid, who cannot speak, and 
       his sister's accidental death, which occurred when they 
       were playing together, and its quiet yet tragic effects on
       the extended family. With warmth, gentle humor, and deep 
       compassion, Gaute Heivoll portrays an unconventional 
       family as it navigates an uncertain and often unkind 
       world."--Amazon.com.
