- Summary:
- With steadily growing suspense, Carl Frode Tiller's carefully scored polyphony of voices continues to piece together the fractured identity of David, the absent central figure of The Encircling Trilogy. To remind David of the memories he lost, three friends write about his childhood on the Island of Otterøya: Ole, a farmer struggling to save his floundering marriage; Tom Roger, a rough-edged and violent outsider; and Paula, a former midwife harboring an explosive secret. Filled with questions and answers that stay tantalizingly out of reach, Encircling 2: Origins is an exhilarating look at how identity is influenced by our friendships, and a masterful book in The Encircling Trilogy--back cover.
