The Pros and Cons of Existing

Vigdis Hjorth

This is a novel about a bright woman with irrepressible optimism and a belief that everything will work out in the end. She loves life in all its shapes and forms and does what she can to spread happiness and joy. No more grey days! Nina is a single mother with a ten-year old daughter and has just bought the old Grepan Guest House by the Oslo fjord, which has a dining room that opens straight out onto a private beach. Here summer nights are to be enjoyed and life's highlights celebrated. Nina's fascination for people makes her an unusual and perhaps slightly unpredictable hostess, but who cares? as she would say herself. The question is whether faith and joy can stand meeting the real world? Is being optimistic only positive – or does it have it's disadvantages too? Vigdis Hjorth's novel is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

The Darkening is a masterful crime novel and a dangerous marital drama.'Karin Fossum is a crime writer like no other. She takes more interest in the people than the crime itself. That makes her more exciting to follow than any other Norwegian crime writer. In this book Karin Fossum once more shows us how masterful she is.'STAVANGER AFTENBLAD 6/6'Karin Fossum once again shows herself a magnificent writer, with a strong ability of trying to understand life. And death.'DAGBLADET'It is word against word in this case, and very special crime novel. Really, Karin Fossum is the most foremost of Norwegian crime writers.' ADRESSEAVISEN
