Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

4.0

I wish I was going to be present for the conversation about this book with the Hanover Book group. The more I think about this, the more questions I have. Which is why this has been a popular book discussion title.

There is so much I don't know - why exactly had Trond always wanted a place like this one? Why did this place start all the old memories coming back? Why does Trond remember the words to the end of The Tale of Two Cities, but his daughter is remembering the beginning to David Copperfield?

Petterson has such wonderful phrasing, his translator did a great job. I may have to listen to this if it is available on CD.
