The first of three books that are connected to the fictional place Vaim is described as ”a story about Eline, Jatgeir and Frank, carpenters and fishing boats, love and death, obedient men and an unusually strong-willed woman”.

The Norwegian launch day on September 5 is also the opening day for the International Fosse Festival, which Fosse's Norwegian publisher Samlaget arranges together with the theatre Det norske teatret.
