Description
A tender, funny puzzle of a novel, this story follows a small constellation of characters as they drift toward one another—through chance meetings, longings, and the private negotiations that happen before love is ever spoken aloud. Centered on a young literature student, the book explores desire and dreams as they collide with everyday life, asking what it really means to dare to be yourself. With its relationship-focused structure and autofictional sensibility, it blends intimacy and wit to examine how women and men navigate longing, identity, and the stories we tell to survive our own hopes. Øyehaug’s distinctive style turns emotional uncertainty into momentum, inviting readers to look closely at the moments when a life might change—if only someone can “wait” and “blink” at the right time.
