A cat and mouse game of surveillance and psychological torment develops between a middleaged artist and her aging mother, as Vigdis Hjorth returns to the themes of her controverdsial modern classic, Will and Testament 'To mother is to murder, or close enough', thinks Johanna, as she looks at the spelling of the two words in Norwegian. She's recently widowed and back in Oslo after a long absence as she prepares for a retrospective of her art.The subject of her work is motherhood and some of her more controversial paintings have brought aboiut a dramatic rift between parent and child. This new proximity, after decades of acrimonius absence, set both women on edge, and before too long Johanna finds her mother stalking her thoughts, and Johanna starts stalking her mother's house.
De Zweedse Johanna is ziekelijk jaloers op Nora, de ex van haar Deense vriend Emil. In Johanna's optiek is Nora alles wat zij niet is: mooi, Noors en populair op sociale media. Als Johanna er toevallig achter komt dat Emil en Nora met elkaar willen afspreken, raakt ze van streek. Geobsedeerd door Nora begint ze via Instagram een onderzoek naar haar leven en ze houdt haar vanaf dat moment nauwlettend in de gaten. Voortdurend in de greep van haar jaloezie, wordt Johanna ook fysiek geplaagd: ze heeft een constante, doordringende pijn in haar baarmoeder. Nora, of brand Oslo brand! is intelligent, oprecht en eigenzinnig: een autobiografische roman die met humor de kwellingen en verlangens van een generatie blootlegt.
