«Je suis un ange venu du nord» is the novel by Linn Ullmann, published by Actes Sud in paperback (368 pages, in French).
Doctor Isak Lövenstad and his three daughters, each from a different mother, spend the summers of the seventies on the Scandinavian island of Hammarsö. A catastrophe shatters those idyllic days; twenty-five years later, the sisters return to reconstruct their childhood and understand what drove them apart. Guilt, sensuality and childhood cruelty in subtle prose.
