Next we have 3 #norwegian stories with 3 #norwegianwriters which I’m going to #highlyrecommend each and every one of them. First stop up, up, up in the #arctic north with #love by #HanneØrstavik . This is sparse, beautiful, tender yet concentrated, deep and visceral all at the same time. #Ørstavik wisely and precisely guides the readers through a #lovestory of two opposite and #lostsouls : a #mother and her child. #missedopportunities, old #silences and broken connections all live in this story and repeat themselves endlessly. #vibeke and Jon can’t help but to continue their seemingly pathetic and empty lives missing each other, not seeing each other at all. If you’re interested in how loud silences can get, and how much we can tell each other when we don’t utter a word, then this is the book for you. #ostavikmasterfully depicts a brutal environment that instead of preventing people from talking because the isolation it provokes, the loneliness and silence created in these harsh conditions speak volumes of all our feelings and emotions. #norwegianliterature #archipelago#archipelagobooks #hanneorstavik#displacement #missingyou#highlyrecommended #Kjærlighet#kjaerlighet #tana
