A classic Gaarder parable, in the tradition of 'Sophie's World' and 'The Solitaire Mystery'. The theme of a father finding his long-lost daughter runs through the novel, which is narrated by Petter, described as "a Norwegian Billy Liar". A psychological portrait of an uncommon man, which builds to a climax at the Bologna Book Fair, and which is lined up for swathes of media coverage. Panina Manina, a trapeze artist, falls and breaks her neck. As the ringmaster bends over her, he notices an amulet of amber around her neck, the same trinket he had given his own lost child, who was swept away in a torrent some sixteen years earlier. This tale is narrated by Petter, a precocious child and fantasist, and perhaps Jostein Gaarder's most intriguing character since Sophie. As an adult, Petter makes his living selling stories and ideas to professionals suffering from writers block. But as Petter sits spinning his tales, he finds himself in a trap of his own making.
