surprises his mother has prepared for him. He leaves the house

her own, she too ventures out. Inextricably linked yet desperately
at odds, mother and son make their lonely ways through the
unforgiving night. Beautifully translated into English by Martin
Aitken, this edition is the twenty-eighth international publication
of Love. Hanne Orstavik's astonishing grasp of human fragility and
her economy of form power this acknowledged masterpiece of
Norwegian literature.
