Author:Peter Høeg,Martin Aitken
Peter and Tilte are trying to track down two notorious criminals: their parents. They are the pastor and the organist, respectively, of the only church on the tiny island of Finø. Known for fabricating cheap miracles to strengthen their congregation's faith, they have been in trouble before. But this time their children suspect they are up to mischief on a far greater scale.
When Peter and Tilte learn that scientific and religious leaders from around the world are assembling in Copenhagen for a conference, they know their parents are up to something. Peter and Tilte's quest to find them exposes conspiracies, terrorist plots, an angry bishop, a deranged headmaster, two love-struck police officers, a deluded aristocrat and much more along the way.
Hugely enjoyable…both moving and oddly profound
—— Harry Ritchie , Daily MailPeter Høeg displays a glorious facility for the absurd as well as the picaresque, and the hilarity of Peter Finø's narrative makes this a delightful novel
—— Sarah Moss , GuardianA playful exercise in whimsy
—— Independent on SundayWarm and funny
—— Daily TelegraphThis is a strange, beguiling novel, which combines madcap adventure with reflections on trust, affection and individual spiritual life
—— ExpressThe Elephant Keepers' Children is, on its own terms, a serene and cheerful and beautifully constructed tale...it has just that extra nudge of extravagant, humorous implausibility which undeniably removes it from realism
—— Berlingske TidendeHøeg's sense of humour is wonderful, and his Homeric laughter unfolds over the madhouse that he constructs
—— PolitikenThere is lots of action, humour, satire and spirituality in Peter Høeg's thriller
—— Kristeligt DagbladA comic, extravagant romp that will leave the reader both bewildered and endeared at once
—— We Love this Book
