My Struggle: Book Four

The fourth installment in the eagerly awaited, internationally celebrated MY STRUGGLE series
 
Book 4 finds an 18-year-old Karl Ove in a tiny fishing village in Northern Norway, where he has been hired as a schoolteacher and is living on his own for the first time. When the ferocious winter takes hold, Karl Ove --- in the company of the Håfjord locals, a warm and earthy group who have spent their lives working, drinking, joking together in close quarters --- confronts private demons, reels from humiliations and is elated by small victories. We are immersed, along with Karl Ove, in this world --- sometimes claustrophobic, sometimes serenely beautiful --- where memories and physical obsessions burn throughout the endless Arctic winter. In Book 4, Karl Ove must weigh the realities of his new life as a writer against everything he had believed it would be.
