With over two million books sold in 24 languages, Lars Mytting is one of Norway’s best-selling and esteemed writers.
His novel The Sixteen Trees of the Somme received the Norwegian National Booksellers' Award; his non-fiction book about firewood Norwegian Wood provided a fascinating insight into Scandinavian culture and became a global sensation; and his historical fiction trilogy, The Sister Bells – a riveting and epic family drama set in WWII-era Norway – has been an international bestseller.
On the publication of the final instalment of The Sister Bellstrilogy, The Night of the Scourge, and in his first visit to the country, Simon Wilson meets this star writer from Norway and hears about his celebrated writing life.
