Ein Anruf der Anwaltskanzlei Rogers & Rogers verändert schlagartig das Leben des Literaturprofessors Samuel Anderson. Er, der als kleines Kind von seiner Mutter verlassen wurde, soll nun für sie bürgen: Nach ihrem tätlichen Angriff auf einen republikanischen Präsidentschaftskandidaten verlangt man von ihm, die Integrität einer Frau zu bezeugen, die er seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren nicht gesehen hat. Ein Gedanke, der ihm zunächst völlig abwegig erscheint. Doch Samuel will auch endlich begreifen, was damals wirklich geschehen ist.

Ein allumfassender, mitreißender Roman über Liebe, Unabhängigkeit, Verrat und die lebenslange Hoffnung auf Erlösung, ein Familienroman und zugleich eine pointierte Gesellschaftsgeschichte.
---


It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paint Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she’s facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel’s help.

To save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye’s losses but also his own lost love and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother and himself.
