He Never Promised Me Gold, Only Green Forests

Norwegian title: Naturmannen og jeg

Illustrated by André MartinsenPhotography by Astrid Waller

Man loves woman. Woman loves man. But 385,186 square kilometers of Norwegian nature separates them. All she wants is to have children, all he wants is to go to the mountains. Convincing a ‘Nature Man' that there is room for a child will prove to be just as difficult as walking up Store Skagastølstind in stilettos. A warm, humorous story about how people can live together despite great differences.
