Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

5.0

---

This multi-award winning Norwegian novel is an excellent, one-of-a-kind book. Trond, a 67yr old man, has retired alone with his dog in a cottage near the Swedish border. He recalls memories of a summer in the 1940s that had significant implications for his life. An excellently written page-turner, with lovely descriptions of Norwegian nature, farm work, and the emotions we experience alone as we go through life. A great read.
