About the Book

A mother has suffered a severe stroke. Her family comes to her side and old wounds open and need to heal anew. Will they be able to forgive the wrongdoings and betrayals of the past?

Nordic Summer Nights: A Family Story of Betrayal, Forgiveness and Redemption is the introspective and insightful work of fiction by Kari Zamecnik that spans three generations in a Norwegian family. The venues are in New York, Paris and Oslo. Memories and old scars resurface, particularly the effects WWII and the Nazi occupation have had on the lives and destines of the family members.

It's 1974, and Dr. Astrid Brannberg, a psychologist living in New York City, receives word that her estranged mother, Inga, is in the hospital after a severe stroke. Astrid reluctantly returns to Norway, and is joined by Inga's sister Lala, and her brother Hans. When Astrid finds a thirty-five-year-old letter in her mother's attic, a long hidden family secret is uncovered and an intriguing mystery arises that Astrid is determined to get to the bottom of.

As new revelations emerge, the Molvik family must recognize and accept the burdens each of them has carried in life. Thought provoking and intricately constructed, this engaging family story offers moving insight into the significance of forgiveness and the reconciliation of your roots and your essential self.
