‘Knausgaard is among the finest writers alive’ New York Times
It is 1986 and Syvert Løyning has returned from military service to his mother’s home in southern Norway. One night, he dreams of his late father, and the next morning can’t shake him from his mind. Searching through his father’s belongings for clues and connections, Syvert finds a cache of letters that leads to the Soviet Union, and to a half-sister, Alevtina, he didn’t know he had.
Several decades later, in present-day Russia, he will meet her – just as a mysterious new star appears in the sky…
From internationally bestselling author Karl Ove Knausgaard, The Wolves of Eternity is the new book in a visionary series that begins with The Morning Star. Expansive, searching and deeply human, it questions the responsibilities we have toward one another and ourselves – and the limits of what we can understand about life itself.
‘So engrossing and entertaining that I crammed in its 800 pages like a glutton devouring a box of chocolates? I was mesmerised throughout this book. The translation is also excellent. More, please’ Spectator
‘Captivating’ Financial Times

It’s 1986 and a nuclear reactor has exploded in Chernobyl. Syvert Loyning returns home from military service to live with his mother and brother on the outskirts of a town in Southern Norway. One night, he dreams of his late father, and can’t shake him from his mind. Searching through his father’s belongings for clues and connections, he finds a cache of letters that lead to the Soviet Union. In present-day Russia, Alevtina is trying to balance work and family. She has always sought the answers to life’s big questions, but is preoccupied with care of her young son. Her friend Vasilisa offers some nourishment: she is writing a book about an ancient feature of Russian culture, the belief in eternal life. Meantime, Alevtina is heading towards a meeting that will redraw the contours of her world.
