Love by @hanne_orstavik Translated from Norwegian by Martin Aitken. Coming February 13, 2018 @archipelagobooks Love is the story of a single mother, Vibeke, and her son Jon, who have just moved to a remote small town in the north of Norway. It’s the day before Jon’s birthday, but with concerns of her own, Vibeke has forgotten this. With a man on her mind, she ventures to the local library while Jon goes out to sell lottery tickets for his sports club. From here on we follow the two individuals on their separate journeys through a cold winter’s night, their experiences nevertheless linked in seamless narrative. The reader is privy to each character’s intimate thoughts as suspense builds and tragedy looms. #hanneørstavik #love #kjærlighet #MartinAitken #interlingualzoo #archipelagobooks #edvardmunch #fantastiskeforsider #norwegianliterature #translation #loveyourtranslator #instabook #bookstagram (her: New York, New York)

After having read my two favorite books of all time this year (the Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas and Stoner by John Williams), I think this is going to be on that list. What an amazing find. These three books have made this year worth it. #literature #books #book #bookcollection #archipelagobooks #swedish #swedishliterature #rynell #elizabethrynell
