Description
Aliss at the Fire is a haunting exploration of love and loss, where the past and present collide in a vivid, hallucinatory prose. The story begins with Signe, lying on a bench in her old house by the fjord, seeing a vision of herself as she was more than twenty years earlier. As her memories widen out, they encompass their whole life together, and beyond, to the bonds of family and the battles with nature that have stretched back over five generations.
The ghosts of the past inhabit the same space as those who still live on, in a meditation on marriage and human fate that is both a personal and a universal tale. This is a powerful and moving work that invites the reader to reflect on the complexities of human experience.
