Out Stealing Horses A Novel

Sixty-seven-year-old Trond Sander has settled into a solitary life in a rustic cabin in an isolated area of eastern Norway after the death of his wife. A chance meeting with his only neighbor, Lars, forces him to reflect on the fateful summer of 1948, when he was fifteen and spending time with his father at that same location. During that pivotal summer, a day that begins with an impulsive joy ride on 'borrowed' horses with his friend Jon is soon overshadowed by a tragic event: Trond learns that Jon's younger twin brother was accidentally killed the day before, an incident that leads to Jon's sudden breakdown and subsequent disappearance. The events of that summer, including his father's secrets and eventual decision to leave the family, change Trond's life forever and bring back painful memories of his youth and the shadows of World War II.
