Ein geheimnisvoller, fast magischer Roman über den Sinn des Lebens. Jon Fosses Roman spielt in unserer Welt, wenn auch nicht ganz. Da sind zwei Maler mit demselben Namen – der eine erfolgreich, aber Witwer, der andere säuft. Oft könnte man meinen, sie wären ein und derselbe, und doch begegnen sie sich manchmal, sprechen auch miteinander. Zeit und Raum folgen im Leben dieser beiden anderen Gesetzen, was an der Küste Norwegens – dem Meer, den Fjorden – liegen mag. In diesem Buch ist Asle noch jung.

Ein Meisterwerk von Jon Fosse. In einem Haus an einem Fjord liegt Signe, eine alte Frau, auf einer Bank und sieht sich selbst als junge Frau durch die Räume gehen.

In dem alten Haus, das erfüllt ist von den Stimmen seiner ehemaligen Bewohner, traumwandelt Signe durch die Vergangenheit und begegnet den vorangegangenen Generationen der Familie.
