When Karl Ove becomes a father himself, he must balance the demands of caring for a young family with his determination to write real literature. ***A Death in the Family is a Proustian exploration of his past, in which Knausgaard creates a universal story of the struggles, great and small, that we all face in our lives. A Death in the Family is a profoundly serious, gripping and hugely readable work written as if the author's very life were at stake.' ***'A tremendous piece of literature' (Politiken - Denmark).
