Each month, we present a new book that we enthusiastically recommend. Really enthusiastically recommend. This month's choice is again endorsed by multiple Green Applers. Buy it now and thank us later. Here's Molly's "shelf-talker."
"This novel caught and held me for an immersive three days of reading.
It takes place in roughly that span of time in a journey through
Norway and through memories, told via the monologue of a man whose
most basic truths are crumbling around him. In his signature
hauntingly precise prose and dreamlike narrative structure, Petterson
subtly unfolds multiple stories that could have easily fallen to
cliches (divorce, familial class struggles, cancer) in a unique,
poignant, and inexplicably hopeful way. As with most books I love,
when I finished this one I felt something like relief - not that it
was over, but that it exists."--MP
