The book Der ingen skulle tru at nokon kunne bu is based on one of the most popular Norwegian TV documentary series of recent times.

What is it about this programme that has kept it popular for twelve years? That is the question which this book sets out to answer. We meet people who have chosen a different life, far from the restless urban milieu. People who want a simpler life, but who also have the courage to uproot and actually choose that life. A life where satisfaction with a hard day's work is better
reward than a ‘like' posting on social media.

Bruaset writes about eleven places and the people who live there.What these people have in common, is that they have sought and found the good life in a remote place.

Encouraging stories and gripping life-histories.
