About This Novel
The lonely struggle in the shadow of child sexual abuse, the spiritual trauma that has been imprisoned for a lifetime. A lonely childhood, a fairy tale with a different tone, a literary masterpiece that makes readers heartbroken and unforgettable. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, he was almost always alone. He was walking on the way to his friend's house, heading towards the moment when his life was shattered. His name is Wigwater and he is eleven years old. The atmosphere at home is heavy, the sick mother is moody and prone to anger, and the father is a typical peacemaker. On a dim winter afternoon, he went out to a friend's house, and the "Coke Man"'s eyes stared at him in the darkness. This day changed his life. More than thirty years later, an exhausted elephant was lying on a road outside Oslo. Only Wigvoort knew where the elephant came from.
