Résumé
Barnum, an award-winning screenwriter, relates the lives of four generations of his Norwegian family. On May 8, 1945, his mother Vera, hoping to celebrate the end of World War II with her mother and grandmother, is brutally raped by an… unknown assailant. From that crime is born a boy named Fred, a misfit who later becomes a boxer. Barnum, born several years later, and Fred form a bizarre but special relationship. Some strong language, some descriptions of sex and violence. Original Norwegian edition published in 2001. 2004. Uniform title: Halvbroren.
