It?s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson?college professor, stalled writer?has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn?t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she?s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she?s facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel?s help.

To save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye's losses but also his own lost love, and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother, and himself.

The Nix has received outstanding praise on the other side of the Atlantic and was featured as a 2016 book of the year across the US press including in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Buzzfeed, and Huffington Post. A film adaptation is being planned, with Meryl Streep to star. Join us to celebrate the UK publication of this booming literary sensation.
