Description
A troubled man, Indregaard, is brought to a house one day—his distress not primarily from immediate danger, but from the fragile boundary between memory and collapse. As he recounts his past, the novel moves through the underground struggle during World War II, probing what it means to believe, to endure, and to decide where loyalty truly lies. Interwoven with these recollections is a long, intimate portrait of his student years in Oslo, where a country boy confronts the tensions between rural identity and the pressures of city life. With Sigurd Hoel’s reflective, psychologically attentive style, the story becomes a meditation on traitorism and conviction—how ideals are tested, and how the mind carries the cost of choosing.
