DESCRIPTION
Peter Høeg's writing is wonderfully layered and thought-provoking, combining humour, adventure, satire, spirituality and observations about human nature.

Peter and Tilte set out to find their missing parentsthe pastor and organist of the only church on the tiny Danish island of Finø. Their search leads them into an increasingly extraordinary world of conspiracies, religious and scientific leaders, terrorist plots, eccentric characters and unexpected adventures.

This book is truly delightful, with Høeg's distinctive humour running through a story that has far more beneath the surface than its madcap plot initially suggests. Politiken praised Høeg's wonderful sense of humour and the Homeric laughter that unfolds through the madhouse he constructs.

Høeg is the internationally acclaimed, prize-winning Danish author of Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow.
