This review is from: Ave Eva: A Norwegian Tragedy (Paperback)
I work for the publisher, but that's not why I adore this book (I'm on my second reading of this book). I adore it because the main character's internal struggle, his terrible and constant anxiety to fulfill his incomplete dreams, are, in turns, unsettling and also friendly to my own anxieties.That character--Edmund Saknevik--abandons his name and family for a quest to revive his country's oldest dialect and rural legacy and is swept into an increasingly powerful current of desire for a fiery woman and desire for redemption. His is a story of a man who seeks to return to the Garden, but only ends up returned to an internally destructive inferno. The translation from Norwegian is gripping and seamless and never confuses or puzzles the reader. If I don't read this book a third time before I die, I would be surprised. |
