In Lead, Lars Saabye Christensen twists together strands from several of his earlier novels. The author was awarded the Norwegian Booksellers’ Prize for this novel.

POLITIKEN, Denmark

‘Lars Saabye Christensen is masterly in his depiction of young love as it teeters between trust and fear, weakness and arrogance.’
