Book Description
===================
AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
A SUNDAY TIMES UK BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
A fantastic tale set in the far north of Sweden in 1852 following a
runaway Sami boy and his mentor, the famous pastor Laestadius, as they
investigate a murder in their village along with the mysteries of
life.
“So much to relish here . . . and the writing is just lovely!”
—Diane Setterfield, New York Times bestselling author of The
Thirteenth Tale and Once Upon a River
Jussi, a runaway, becomes Laestadius’s faithful son and disciple, and
the two set out on botanical treks filled with philosophical
discussions where Jussi learns all about plants and nature; and also
how to read and write and about spirituality. But their quiet days are
interrupted when a maid goes missing in the forest. When she is found
dead, the locals suspect a predatory bear is at large. The constable
is quick to offer a reward for capturing it, but Laestadius sees other
traces that point to a far worse killer on the loose.
After another maid is severely injured, Jussi and the pastor work to
track down the murderer, unaware of the evil that is closing in on
them. For it is revivalist times, and impassioned faith spreads like
wildfire among the locals. While Laestadius’s powerful Sunday sermons
grant salvation to farmers and workers, they gain him enemies among
local rulers, who see profits dwindle as people choose revival over
alcohol.
A completely absorbing and unforgettable novel, To Cook a Bear both
entertains and burrows deep down into the great philosophical
questions of life.
