| About The Author | Per Petterson was born in Oslo in 1952 and worked for several years as an unskilled labourer and a bookseller. He made his literary breakthrough in 2003 with the prizewinning novel Out Stealing Horses, which has been published in forty-nine languages and won the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. |
Lyrical, deceptively clever…the way the story folds together like the petals of a rose is one of the novel's pleasurable surprises…an intelligent journey from boyhood into manhood… |
|
| Other text | Deeply atmospheric…concise beauty of his prose movingly captures the Norwegian landscape and rural way of life…This stunning novel will tell you more about the Norwegian countryside and psyche than the most enthusiastically well-informed guide book' |
