marko68 's review for:
I Will Miss You Tomorrow
by Heine Bakkeid
“How can anyone live a whole different life parallel to the one shared with someone”.
Heine Bakkeid has delivered a bleak, yet beautiful, lyrical and even poetic piece of Nordic Noir. Set in the harsh climes of Northern Norway, Bakkeid introduces the reader to one of the most complex characters, Thorkild Aske who wrestles with his own demons, seems to balance on the edge of sanity and stability, and yet is fully human. The reader is given the privilege of walking beside Thorkild and getting a sense of the inner world he navigates.
“It is so real, this dream sequence, so intense, that when I wake, or drop back into reality, it is as though I have just walked through the wrong door and my body is filled with panic”.
The story itself is like a majestic crescendo, slowly swelling as we are taken on a journey to find he who is missing, only to confront that which is missing in us as well.
Bakkeid uses the landscape of Norway to its full advantage.. and the reader is transported to this arctic environment, immersed in this chilling tale.
I actually loved this and read it like it was a poetic reflective narrative. 5 stars and looking forward to the Thorkild Aske #2 when it is translated to the English.
