Biographical note
Olaf Olafsson was born in Reykjavik in 1962 and studied physics at Brandeis University. Formerly the president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, he is currently Vice Chairman of Time Warner Digital Media. His first novel, Absolution, was published in 1994 and his second, The Journey Home, in 2001. He lives in New York City.
For twenty years Christian Benediktsson has led an orderly but demanding life as butler to the media magnate William Randolph Hearst, famously the inspiration for Citizen Kane, in his San Simeon castle. But Christian's own private world is filled with regret - for a family abandoned, a reckless affair and a tragic death, followed hard by financial downfall that prompted his profound retreat from life. But when one day Christian's buried past threatens to catch up with him, a heart-rending journey of self-discovery into lost love begins.
