A strange man from a foreign land.A woman who remembers him when remembering becomes necessary.
A Norwegian fjord where fish, birds, seeds, and names all know more than they should.
When Timian receives a call from Hildè, a woman he met twenty years earlier on a beach in Thailand, he accepts an invitation that feels less like travel and more like fate. He arrives in Lofoten, Norway, carrying an old family mystery, a nameless spice, and a quiet longing to understand whether blood can remember a place the body has never been.
Waiting for him are Hildè, her sharp-eyed father Odd, and Trick — a clever black-legged kittiwake with a weakness for cinnamon walnuts, gossip, romance, and telling the truth whenever it suits him.
As Timian settles into the rhythm of the fjord, the ordinary world begins to bend. A reindeer named Buck and a moose called Buss watch from the edges. Frederik the otter offers suspicious wisdom. Three fish named Charlkie, Roger, and Betty swim through the water without knowing they are fish. A nameless spice waits to become something more. And beneath the northern lights, the sea keeps its oldest secrets.
Funny, tender, and quietly magical, Timian Goes to Norway is a fable about ancestry, family, memory, love, and the mysterious way names can travel across oceans before finding the people meant to carry them.
Remember the names.
That is the trick.
Genre: Fantasy
