Description
Haymaker in Heaven by Edvard Hoem is a transatlantic novel set at the turn of the twentieth century. In 1874, Nesje, a widower with a young son, meets Serianna, an outsider who changes his life forever. As they fall in love and build a future together, Nesje's dreams of prosperity are tested by the challenges of mechanization and the growing power of the moneyed classes. As Nesje's sons follow different paths - one to America, another to the city, and another adopted by Serianna's childless brother and sister-in-law - the novel spans two countries at a critical moment of intersection. Edvard Hoem's own family history informs this sprawling saga, which offers a vivid portrait of Norway and America in 1874. A rich and complex exploration of love, sacrifice, and transformation, Haymaker in Heaven is a powerful portrayal of two countries on the cusp of change.
