Nothing To Regret
Ingenting å angre på
An engaging, deeply moving novel that represents a rare combination of pathos and comedy, desperation and elation.
It is a warm June night and summer vacation is on the steps. Vegard drives his three daughters to the family´s summer cottage, his wife has arranged to take the train out the following day. She has a half year account to finish before she leaves. But it isn´t work that is keeping Heidi in town. In reality she is going to spend a night with her lover. Through two days and two nights we follow Heidi and Vegard in their separate activities, in two separate worlds.
Nothing to Regret is a story about hotel rooms and cottage kitchens, about overpowering desire and fishing trips with the children. With a keen sense of human observation Trude Marstein writes a novel about infatuation and betrayal, about dreams and passions, and about the realities we all have to deal with.
«(…) Trude Marstein creates both a portrait of the mind and of the times, brimming with sensory impressions and unrest. It is incredibly well done; it is dangerous and sharp, yet comforting and warm in many ways.»
