Synopsis
First published in Norway in 1947, this "breathtakingly powerful" (The Guardian) novel of one woman's soul-shattering love affair introduces a major twentieth-century international writer to an American audience--with an introduction by Sheila Heti.
"It is really strange what a sense of rhythm life has. For some of us. It plays with you, like a cat with a mouse, and hooks you with a claw every time you think you're safe or alright. . .Well, now the claw has come to stay." In the blue dusk of a spring evening, a man is drawn to a lonely, beautiful stranger across a station platform. She follows him home, and over one heady night of wine and cigarettes, recounts the haunting story of her life to him. She tells of an obsessive passion for her small town's high school teacher, which consumed her at the age of seventeen, resulting in abortion poverty, and alienation. Unrequited love blooms against the shadows of societal injustices of interwar Norway as she fights for autonomy--over her body, her mind, and her life. Captivating, visceral and brimming with emotion, Nothing Grows by Moonlight, is a striking ode to longing, desire, and heartbreak, and a timeless testament to the power of sharing our stories."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
