Jo fortere jeg går, jo mindre er jeg by Kjersti A. Skomsvold

I don't quite understand how people can call this a sad feel-good novel; I found it very sad, this is a strange, funny and sad story. Told in the naïve perspective of an elderly lady who hasn't done much with her life, and now finally starts to realise it.
This book has some of the naïve, funny qualities of an Erlend Loe novel, but I feel it understands the psychology of anxiety and fear of life and death on a deeper level.
I'm not too fond of the style of writing; it's rather minimalistic, reticent and quiet, but it still manages to portray great feelings and deep thoughts - everything just lies between the lines.
