Description
Set in the languid heat of a Norwegian summer, this long-unavailable novel follows a cast of people drawn toward temptation, self-justification, and the quiet consequences of desire. As relationships shift and moral certainty erodes, the story explores how ordinary days can expose hidden motives and test the boundaries between respectability and transgression. With a keen eye for human contradiction and a distinctly literary, psychologically attentive style, Sigurd Hoel builds tension through character rather than spectacle. Reissued after decades, this edition includes an afterword by Sverre Lyngstad that deepens the book’s historical and thematic resonance.
