Köp båda 2 för 402 krThis novella, sometimes hard to read for its bleakness but impossible to look away from, shows that even when we know the destination, the journey is still worthwhile. The Guardian ---- Tender, anguished and truthful, Ti Amo recalls a line from a novel by Duras I read years ago: There are no holidays from love as most of us discover, sooner or later. The Spectator ---- What is so impressive is her ability to capture with precision, candour and, indeed, tenacity her shifting sense of self, as the foundations on which it rests crumble with every passing moment. Wall Street Journal ---- The most skilful of writersyou need this Norwegian writer on your bookshelf. The I ---- Ti Amo is a complex look at grief, love and loneliness, longing, not veiled within a wider narrative or hidden under layers. The Skinny ---- The novel shares a compassionate vision, bridging the gulf between the one who will go on and the one who will not ... A remarkably frank and finely sieved account of two people approaching the ultimate parting of the ways. Kirkus Reviews, starred review ---- 'What do we really talk about when we talk about "truth" in literature? Orstavik's painful book on grief provides rich answers. Thoughtful and - even for her - enormously raw, Orstavik accomplishes an astonishing amount in very few pages.' Morgenbladet ---- 'An exceptionally good novel about grieving and waiting . . . Orstavik writes so well that the book feels essential, timeless and universal.' Aftenposten ---- 'Orstavik writes mercilessly and beautifully about losing her husband. This little novel is a heart-breaking gem. Ti Amo is an endlessly sorrowful novel, but it's written with such forceful presence, a kind of wonder and tenderness towards life and a celebration of love, that you can't help but feel enriched by reading it. It's very hard and very beautiful.' Information ---- 'One of the most powerful things about the book is its description of the process of losing someone to illness. The time it takes. That it's possible to feel bereaved even before death arrives . . . It's exhausting reading, breathless in its resignation . . . And then, midway through the book, there is a turning point. This is where the book really grabbed me, catching me off guard, brilliantly. Without revealing too much, I will say that it's one of life's ambushes deep down in the valley of death, equal parts dream and taboo, possible and impossible, an incident that gives grief a nuance it can probably only have for those who have stared into its eyes long enough.' Klassekampen ---- 'This little novel from Orstavik opens up spaces full of emotion and wise thoughts about life, love and death. All we can do is say thank you, and enter.' Klassekampen, Best of 2020 ---- 'Hanne Orstavik has written perhaps her finest novel about her life's greatest loss.' Adresseavisen, #1 on the Best of 2020 list ---- 'With Ti Amo, Hanne Orstavik rediscovers the intensity and presence of her first novel Love. Ti Amo explores the liminal experiences that a novel can contain. At the same time we see her oeuvre from a new perspective. It's a powerful novel about loving, and her best in a long time.' Astrid Fosvold, Vart Land, Best of 2020 ---- 'A tender novel about losing your closest one to cancer . . . perceptive, thoughtful and brilliantly written . . . [Orstavik's] novels are characterised by her use of language and words to create identity. She has never done it as successfully and satisfyingly as now . . . above all it's a beautiful novel. About love in a real sense.' Adresseavisen, 6/6 stars ---- 'What is true? What is real? How do you get inside another human being? These questions have been central throughout Hanne Orstavik's work. In her latest novel, Ti Amo, in a story which is her ow
