What a strange but interesting book! Trond is 67 when the book opens and he has moved to a cabin in a remote area of Norway to live out his life alone. Being there begins his remembering the summer when he was 14 or 15. What happened that summer stayed with him all his life.

The part that I found strange was that the time being written about could change within a paragraph. It was not easy to keep track of where you were in the story.

This was a fascinating story, but just because the book is small, do not think it will be a quick and easy read. You must pay attention all the time you're reading or you'll be lost. I believe that part of that is the translation.

If you take the time to read this one, I think you'll find it interesting and enjoyable!
