Author Lars Mytting will be visiting Vesterheim from Norway to talk about The Sister Bells Trilogy! Lars is one of Norway’s most acclaimed authors, with more than 2 million books sold, available in 24 languages around the world.
Dr. Maren Johnson, Luther College’s Associate Professor of Nordic Studies and Torgerson Center for Nordic Studies Director, facilitates a monthly bokprat, discussing Scandinavian authors and Scandinavian life. In past bokprats, we have featured each book in the trilogy through online discussions with Lars (see Vesterheim’s YouTube videos here:

The Sister Bells Trilogy (The Bell in the Lake, The Reindeer Hunters, and The Night of the Scourge) is a sweeping generational saga set in the remote Norwegian village of Butangen, where myth, faith, and modernity intertwine. Blending folklore, love, loss, and the passage of time, the trilogy follows Butangen’s transformation from an isolated hamlet to a modern community still bound to its mythic past.
