After many years away, Andreas returns to his childhood home on a small island off the coast of Norway. As he searches through the belongings of his late foster father, he learns of the events of the island's past - from its time as a colony for poor children to the disappearance of his parents and, finally, to the ordeal of his sister. The Tempest is a hypnotic novel about a place overrun with stories and myths. It is also about family, and the thoughts and feelings that can pass from one generation to another if the truth is brushed aside.
