Rune’s Woman

Norwegian title: Dama til Rune

Marianne Teie

After two poetry collections, Marianne Teie debuts as a novelist with a harrowing, desperate and humorous novel about a young woman in a crisis. The nameless protagonist, “Rune’s woman”, travels to a cabin in the country to get away from Rune, but being alone triggers all her memories and longing. She’s not as alone as she’d like to be, either.

Rune’s Woman is a funny and dark novel about growing up, about the challenges of being a couple and about how difficult it is to find peace alone in a family cabin.
