As clear and relentless as the cold air, _Love_ unfolds over one
winter’s evening. Single mother Vibeke and her son Jon have just
moved to a small, remote town in the north of Norway. Tomorrow Jon
will be nine. As Vibeke gets changed after work, 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.
Beautifully translated into English by Martin Aitken, this edition is
the twenty-eighth international publication of Love. Hanne
Ørstavik’s astonishing grasp of human fragility and her economy of
form power this acknowledged masterpiece of Norwegian literature.
