Long Live the Post Horn! by Vigdis Hjorth

4.0

“I knew now that no one is insignificant and that every one of us must choose whether to build civilisation or the opposite, let the world fall apart, and that even the smallest things present each of us with a challenge.” 

Experiencing Ellinor’s “unrequited love affair with life” at times felt slow and at others seemed excessive, but it still managed to be confronting all the same. In the area of self-knowledge, Hjorth has definitely given me food for thought, and by compelling me to look up her distinctly Norwegian references, she has taught me a bit about Norway (and its postal service) along the way.
