Publisher's summary

The year is 1903. Twenty-two years after the events of The Bell in The Lake, Astrid Hekne's son, Jehans, is now a young man. Driven out by his family, he lives on a homestead in the mountains near the village of Butangen, where he relishes the freedom of his life apart, fishing and hunting for his livelihood. One August morning, Jehans kills a massive reindeer, and at the same moment encounters an enigmatic hunter....

At the new church in Butangen, Pastor Kai Schweigaard is living with the consequences of his past betrayal—arranging the dismantling and sale of the stave church—including deaths and the loss of the church's mystical sister bells. Kai becomes obsessed with finding the ancient tapestry woven by the conjoined sisters in whose memory the bells were cast, with the hope that the tapestry will bring him redemption.

Despite the unraveling legends from the past that continue to haunt these people, they must figure out how to look to the future.

A magnificent story about love, sorrow, and courage, as well as taming waterfalls and the first flash of electric light in the village night, The Reindeer Hunters is a thrilling novel about what it takes to live in and embrace a new era.

Slow and lovely

I really appreciate the way Lars Myttig writes. His stories are full of rich history and tradition, and complex characters. This is a beautiful story of life and its struggles and the meaning of family and love.
