John's review
Growth of the Soil by Knut Hamsun
.Beautiful book, that is so full of living and real experiences. I fully appreciate finding this in a bookstore in vancouver. Growth of the Soil is an interesting narrative and meditation on the idea of the country. Specifically Norwegian country life. It includes the good and bad, the hopeful and funny. All the in betweens that make the characters especially Isak so fresh and nice sounding.
I can not give enough respect to the Author Knut Hamsun. I really enjoyed this book.
I recommend this to people who want an interesting tale about wisdom, living and the way people used to live and the changing influences of city life and the philosophies it brings
Oh yeah, this is the book you were going to let me borrow. Can I read it while you're tree planting? :)
Yes, of course. I think you would love it.
