We meet the main character Tollak, and get to know him and his life. He talks about the love he has for his wife, Ingeborg, and reminisces about the past. There are mentions of death in this book, but otherwise no major trigger warnings one should be aware of.
I rated it 5 stars. It was short and sweet - definitely hit the spot. The foreshadowing and symbolism were great, I love when books make you read between the lines. As this book was 160 pages, I also had the mindset (and energy) to read and interpret it. This was a clear hit to me, and I might read more of Tore Renberg in the future.
