The Birds | Tarjei Vesaas

pick

Mattis knows he isn‘t a good worker and that he isn‘t quite as smart as everyone else but it still bothers him that his neighbors all refer to him as Simple Simon. Still he has the birds he loves to watch and his sister who endlessly knits to keep them both fed. However when a stranger arrives Mattis‘s life feels more uncertain. A lovely book about an unforgettable character.

My Struggle, Book One | Karl Ove Knausgaard

😅😅😅 The names in this novel are very very challenging!! This is worse than Russian names 🤣 Norsk is unpronounceable for me I need some time to get used to this 🥂

AnneCecilie I can completely understand that. Names in most cultures are hard to pronounce right 1mo

My Struggle, Book One | Karl Ove Knausgaard

Starting my journey with KOK. My husband has been teasing me for having the series sitting pretty on my shelves for 7 years 🤭 They‘re the depiction of my true TBR-stacks struggle

BarbaraBB I hope you‘ll love them! 1mo

Ruthiella Apparently they are addictive! Once you start, you can‘t stop. So far I have resisted temptation! (edited) 1mo

sisilia @BarbaraBB @Ruthiella I‘m liking it so far. Made me think about life 🤭 I like addictive stuff 🤣 1mo

Kristin Lavransdatter, I: The Wreath | Sigrid Undset

pick

Kristin Lavransdatter was a #roll100 pick for December so I decided I would read book 1: The Wreath. Didn‘t quite finish it before the end of the year, but I did finish it yesterday.

This was lovely! Kristin is a strong heroine who struggles to balance love & obedience to her family & God with her own desires for her life. I was captivated by this portrait of medieval Norway. I also found some of Kristin‘s internal conflict to be true to life. ⬇️

MeganAnn As someone who was raised Catholic, the internal struggle to reconcile your desires as a young woman with the things you are told are wrong can be difficult to navigate; the author captured that authentically. Also as someone who has Scandinavian ancestors, the look into the medieval Norwegian family life was very intriguing. I could picture these characters as family. My grandfather was of 100% Norwegian heritage & my grandmother is half Swedish. 2mo

MeganAnn I will likely continue on with book 2: The Wife at some point later this year. For now, I‘m taking a break to focus on #auldlangspine titles. 2mo

Trilogy | Jon Fosse

#DaysDevotedTo Day 8: #CoffeeTea with a Norwegian novel while I was in Bodo Norway early this year. This is part of the free “fika” offered by the hotel between 3-5 pm and- said to be a big part of Scandinavian culture. Reminded me of our merienda - byproduct of Spanish colonization.

Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Leniverse Fika is specifically Swedish, but it's basically the same thing in Norway only we call it "kaffekos" (yes, even if you don't drink coffee). 4mo

Eggs My maternal side of family is Norwegian💜 4mo
