Tarjei Vesaas

Translated into English by R J Dent

As strange, unsettling, and memorable as The Seed, The Bridges is a remarkable novel which carries with it all the compassion, human insight, and lyrical power of all of Tarjei Vesaas’s novels. It describes the changing relationships between three teenagers—a young mother who has drowned her newborn child, and Aud and Torvil, a young couple who befriend her. Their individual reactions to the tragedy and their efforts to communicate with each other form the central theme of The Bridges.

This is a brand-new English translation of a spare, powerful, and supremely graceful novel from a giant of Norwegian literature.
