In 1948, when he is fifteen, Trond spends a summer in the country with his father. But a chance encounter with a character from the fateful summer of 1948 brings the painful memories of that year flooding back, and will leave Trond even more convinced of his decision to end his days alone.

A Scandinavian dark horse has taken the Independent Foreign Fiction prize ahead of a field which was dominated by eastern European authors and included both the Nobel prize winner Imre Kertesz and Impac winner Tahar Ben Jelloun. The Norwegian author Per Petterson has won the £10,000 prize for his fifth novel, Out Stealing Horses, which the judges called "truly remarkable".
