Overview Neiden 1970

In Neiden 1970, Ingeborg Arvola writes about childhood with her father in the Kven village of Neiden in the far north of Norway, in East Finnmark on the Norwegian-Finnish border. Father eats apples clad only in his underpants and washes the cups and the socks in the same water. The fishing trips last all night and the drinking binges even longer. Their life together is full of joy, a sense of belonging, alcoholic withdrawal shakes and conscientious hard work. Childhood and adult life reflect each other in this powerful and tender novel.

'This is a beautiful book, written with great love, candour and warmth.'

Reviews Neiden 1970

Nådeløst ærlig

"Anbefales!"

 
Solgunn Solli, Altaposten

Er det mulig å lage ei vakker bok om oppveksten med en alkoholisert far?

"Ja, Ingeborg Arvola gjør det i denne romanen. [...]

det hun forteller kommer nær og griper oss. [...]
Det er ei vakker bok, skrevet med stor kjærlighet, åpenhet og varme. Den handler mye om raushet, aksept og forståelse for ulike liv. Jeg koste meg, lot meg berøre - og jeg tror svært mange vil ha nytte og glede av å lese romanen."

Margoth Hovda-Lien, Nordlys

Fra vakkert til vondt

"Gjennom mer enn seksti små, snapshot-aktige minnebilder eller historier, uten overskrifter eller bevisst oppbygd spenningskurve, med romanens åpningsord «Jeg og faren min» som hyppig gjentatt, gjennomgripende mantra, tegnes med mange enkle ord bildet av en mann som representerer nærhet, utfordringer, spenning og er elsket av den vesle datteren sin også når han drikker for mye, snubler, snøvler, sovner og svikter sine omsorgsplikter."
