 Growth of the Soil
(Markens grøde)

Depth of feeling, perspicacity and thought provoking descriptions of everyday events and feelings.

 Hunger
(Sult)

Hunger is the tale of an impoverished writer whose delusions leads him to starvation as he wanders around late 19th century Oslo. Similar to Dostoevsky's 'Notes From Underground' in both form and psychological insight, this novel probes the dark nether regions of the human mind in glorious overture to the 20th century.

 Victoria

The writing is so plain, almost childlike in its simplicity; but it evokes great emotions. The story is about doomed love, and you know it is not meant to last from the beginning - but you cannot help but wish for it to happen. This book brought me to tears, and it opened up a whole bottle of emotions. When a book does this, I instantly consider it great.
