A novel which was published in the States by a small nonprofit publishing house in St. Paul, MN, "Out Stealing Horses", is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Its author is out of Norway. The book is quiet and understanded, like his home country. But storyline is strong and deep, and has a way of running through your thoughts over and over, weeks after you've finished the book. Which explains how I was able to read it two times in one weekend and enjoy the details which I had missed the first time through. It's rare that I would read a novel twice.
I've since ordered two more of his books from the library, and look forward to the next little treasures of literature from Norway.
