Journal Entry 1 by travelina from Ullern bydel, Oslo fylke Norway on Saturday, September 24, 2016
In Danish Jutland, where the sea freezes over and the Nazis have yet to invade, a young girl dreams of going on a great journey to Siberia, while her brother, Jesper, yearns for the warmer climes of Morocco. With a staunchly Christian mother, a father who is an unsuccessful carpenter, and a grandfather who hangs himself in a cowshed, the relationship between brother and sister flourishes. Jesper has an originality that stands out in the small community, and his sister follows as they wend their way around the town in moonlit and daytime endeavors. The bond between them creates a warmth that grows through the cold and the dark clouds that threaten to overtake their dreams. As the narrator looks back, she reflects on the harsh realities of her life and the directions in which they ted her. It is out of small and negligible things that a life may be composed, and the beauty of Per Petterson's narrative lies in the resonances of a Ere outwardly barren but so sharply etched, so charged with meaning.

I signed up to this book ring at the Birmingham uncon - very excited at the prospect of a trip to Oslo and have recently discovered that I might have lots of air miles available to me for the trip which could mean a very comfortable experience too :0)

I've had this book for too long really. It was an enjoyable read, I really liked the main character and her brother. Some parts had me gripped.

Thank you for sharing this.

Really sorry but this book didn't do much for me. I don't think the translation helped either. For example, I'm sure she wasn't wearing a "snood" in her hair when she went to the nightclub.
