A beautifully written and magnificently researched book set in a remote mountain homestead in Norway and the Shetland islands, The death of three year old Edward's parents has always been shrouded in mystery for him. His taciturn grandfather doesn't explain. But, as an adult, Edward becomes increasingly determined to find out what happened to them for, as he says - 'There was something about Mama and Papa's story that was stirring, quietly, like a serpent.' Clever plotting - and a most unusual resolution.
