À propos de cet audio
Two handsome brothers. An age-old Appalachian feud. And a love that may tear the Norgaard family apart.
After the tragic death of her husband, Aven Norgaard is beckoned to give up her life in Norway to become a housekeeper in the rugged hills of 19th century Appalachia. Upon arrival, she finds herself in the home of her late husband’s cousins - three brothers who make a living by brewing hard cider on their 300-acre farm. Yet even as a stranger in a foreign land, Aven has hope to build a new life in this tight-knit family.
But her unassuming beauty disrupts the bond between the brothers. The youngest two both desire her hand, and Aven is caught in the middle, unsure where - and whether - to offer her affection. While Haakon is bold and passionate, it is Thor who casts the greatest spell upon her. Though deaf, mute, and dependent on hard drink to cope with his silent pain, Thor possesses a sobering strength.
As autumn ushers in the apple harvest, the rift between Thor and Haakon deepens and Aven faces a choice that risks hearts. Will two brothers’ longing for her quiet spirit tear apart a family? Can she find a tender belonging in this remote, rugged, and unfamiliar world?
A haunting tale of struggle and redemption, Sons of Blackbird Mountain is a portrait of grace in a world where the broken may find new life through the healing mercy of love.

Narrator: Amy Rubinate - excellent!
I’ve read this author before and her books are always enjoyable! This was no exception.
I enjoyed this story from start to finish. The characters are so distinct and clear to me. I have respect and admiration for all Aven had been through and her perspective of gratitude. She enjoys the simple things of a safe home, enough food to eat, and friendships.
Every single character contributes to this book. There are serious, silly, and everyday life moments. The tension between the two brothers’ affections for Aven is intense. I adore Thor’s character and how he fights to have a life free of addiction and the love of a good woman. His deafness brings a learning opportunity for the reader. His proposal is truly the most romantic I’ve ever read or heard of! I had tears in my eyes and a full heart as it happened. Simply beautiful.
As someone who is half-Norwegian, I appreciated all the references to Norway. The mention of potato lefse made me smile.
There is so much more that I could say but it all leads into this recommendation — read this novel! Read Bischof’s other novels!
Wonderful
