About the event
We’re thrilled to announce that as part of her tour of England, Hanne is visiting Norwich! She’ll be reading from and discussing Love – the Winner of the 2019 PEN America Translation Prize and a finalist in the 2018 National Book Award for Translated Literature.
Adored by the likes of Karl Ove Knausgaard, Love is a short, suspenseful Norwegian winter’s tale crafted in beautifully spare and precise prose. It’s a harrowing, tragic story of a mother and her son, who have just moved to a small, remote town in the north of Norway. As his ninth birthday approaches, Jon wonders what surprises his mother has prepared for him. He leaves the house certain she will make him a cake. But preoccupied with concerns of her own, she too ventures out… Inextricably linked yet desperately at odds, mother and son make their lonely ways through the unforgiving night.
We strongly urge you to join her at Book Hive for what promises to be a fascinating evening of readings, discussion and signings!
