Norwegian Roy Jacobsen's novel "The Miracle Child" is similar to his previous books, but stands apart. This time, we have a page-turner—a drama that reads in one breath. Its backdrop is a lovingly and meticulously recreated 1960s setting—a time of two-parcel families and stay-at-home mothers, the first suburbs lined with four-story panel buildings, the first oil money and the first luxuries: wallpaper, wall units, and the symbol of the new prosperity—the television. Gagarin's flight, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the construction of the Berlin Wall, Kennedy's assassination... The book's hero, a smart and gentle boy named Finn, is happy. He is being raised by his mother because his father, a crane operator, left them and then died. That autumn, his life with his mother changes completely—before they even have time to rent out a room to a tenant and begin to get used to him, a strange little girl appears on their doorstep—Finn's half-sister. She carries only a tiny suitcase, and in it lies a "bomb" destined to explode. Thus begins this poignant story of love, loyalty, and betrayal.
