This book was, to quote my friend Leslie, "a quiet book." I loved the setting in Norway, and the contemplative approach the main character, Trond, takes to reviewing a pivotal summer in his life. It is a book that I read purposefully slowly, in order to savor it.

review:
I liked the idea of this book, but I felt that it was perhaps rushed to publication. There was a lot more opportunity for the author to reflect on his spiritual journey and relationship with God throughout the book. I felt that there wasn't a whole lot of energy put into it until the end, when he returned to Michigan. It was a very entertaining story though. I just wish he had gone a little deeper.
