Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

3.0

We were going out stealing horses, Trond Sander remembers his friend Jon saying during the summer of 1948, when both boys were fifteen. Years later, an older Trond reflects on that day and that summer, which would prove to have drastic, devastating effects on both boys.
A quiet, sparse novel with beautiful writing, Out Stealing Horses shifts focus between present-day Trond, living along in a rustic cabin in an isolated area of Norway, and his memories and reflections of that fateful summer which changed his life.
