Niels Lyhne by Jens Peter Jacobsen, Fiction, Classics, Literary by Jens Peter Jacobsen

5.0

I am gobsmacked at how much I loved this book and utterly upset to know that Jens Peter Jacobsen did not live long enough to write more novels such as this one. Amazing lyrical prose alongside thoughtful realism and existentialism. This is one of my new favorite books. Caught myself gripped with the writing as well as the story and found myself with a few tears towards the end. This was a library rental and I am immediately off to purchase my very own copy.
