The Sorrow of Angels

More about the book

The winter nights are dark and still, you can almost hear the fish breathe on the sea bed. Snow is falling so heavily that it binds heaven and earth together. As the villagers gather in the inn to drink schnapps and coffee while the boy reads to them from 'Hamlet', Jens the postman stumbles in half dead, having almost frozen solid on his horse. On his next journey across the wide open fjord and the icy landscape beyond he is accompanied by the boy. Both will risk their lives for each other, and for an unusual delivery.
