A review by fbarkalow
The Sunlit Night by Rebecca Dinerstein Knight

5.0

This was by far one of the most delightful novels I have had read in a long while. The author's style is quite unique, using different points of view for the two protagonists, but worked very well to draw me right into the story. The characters, while somewhat quirky, were believable and very well developed to the point that I did not want the story to end. I found myself quite amused at the common use in Norway of the word 'super' before many adjectives, like 'fine' and 'large' as extra emphasis resulting in 'superfine' and 'superlarge'. The effect was almost comedic. The dialog, while spare at times, still managed to pack quite a punch and convey a lot of meaning. The story was engaging and captured the trials and tribulations of the human spirit in seeking relationships with others. I look forward to more fiction by this author.
