Description
Panina Manina, a trapeze artist, falls and breaks her neck. As the ringmaster bends over her, he sees around her neck an amber charm . . . just like the one he gave his own child before she was swept away in a torrent 16 years earlier.This tale is narrated by Petter, a precocious child and a fantasist, and perhaps Jostein Gaarderโs most intriguing creation since Sophie. Petter makes his living selling stories and ideas to authors suffering from writerโs block.
Itโs a lucrative trade, but as he sits like a spider in the center of his web, Petter finds himself in a trap of his own making. Jostein Gaarder is the author of Sophie's World, a huge bestseller in over 40 countries.
