My Brother Wolf

Lara Taveirne grows up in a bustling family of five children. The youngest, Wolf, slams his student room door shut at eighteen and is never heard from again. Six months later, his lifeless body is found in a forest in Lapland. Underneath his clothes, detectives discover a diary – a record of his final journey to see the northern lights.

Ten years later, Lara opens her late brother's diary once again. In her book My Brother Wolf, she returns to her childhood years in their warm family home, the turbulent months of Wolf's disappearance, and the even more turbulent years following his death. She embarks on her own journey, a grief-stricken pilgrimage not in search of explanations, but simply looking for points of light in the darkness.

A true story and a trial by fire for the author, who, like her younger brother, loves to let her own imagination guide her. A pure ode to literature and the irresistible pull of fiction.
