« Vårnatt » Tarjei Vesaas

book

First published in Norway in 1954, this lyrical novel is about an abrupt change from childish dreams and safety to grown–up responsibilities and happiness. On the surface it deals with what happens to two youngsters left for a night alone on their parents’ farm, but like The Ice Palace and other great novels by Vesaas, the themes are far deeper: How difficult the road is from I to you or we, even when love is involved.
