The plot in Tyskland takes place in Norway during the Second World War, where we meet Hanna, a girl with a limitedl understanding of the world. She goes on a journey to find her sister, who she believes is in Germany.
It is with a finely-tuned sense of human vulnerability that Mossige takes us into a world seen only through Hanna's eyes, where we are guided by her dreams and desires. A wilful and fascinating novel reminiscent of the work of Flannery O'Conner and William Faulkner.
Tyskland is a strong and distinctive debut with the ability and willingness to take a close look at human life.
‘Tyskland is solidly composed, but most of all it is the language that makes it a memorable reading experience. It is in the lyrical passages and dialogues that we gain insight into human vulnerability, stunted communication and efforts to fit into a world where even what is safe falters in smouldering ashes.’
KLASSEKAMPEN
‘Tyskland is in all ways a solid debut novel and contains passages of high intensity. Just like with its characters and their abrupt dialogues, it knows to be silent when necessary.’
DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV
Nominert til P2-lytterenes romanpris
P2-lytterenes romanpris, NRK"Tyskland er solid komponert, men det er enda mer språket som gjør den til en minneverdig leseopplevelse. Det er gjennom de lyriske avsnittene og dialogene vi får innblikk i menneskelig utsatthet, avstumpet kommunikasjon, anstrengelsene for å passe inn i en verden der selv det trygge vakler i ulmende aske."
Sindre Andersen, Klassekampen"Tyskland er en på alle måter solid debutroman og inneholder passasjer av høy intensitet. I likhet med sine personer og de korthugde dialogene deres, vet den å tie når det trengs."
Kåre Bulie, Dagens Næringsliv
