pickA beautifully translated, nonlinear meditation on grief. The main character is somewhat difficult to grasp until it is slowly revealed that she is reeling from a huge tragedy. Well worth the read.

pickNonlinear story of relentless grief from the POV of a woman named Jane. Memories of childhood, courtship, adult life and a slowly revealed tragedy at the center of the novel are intertwined with a trip to Norway to visit distant relatives and an impulsive trek with a zoologist met on the plane. Jane is not always a likeable character but is more real and unforgiving of herself in a way that makes her grief more realistic. 5⭐
