I'm currently reading a wonderful novel ("Digital Galley Edition"), of The Ferryman and His Wife, by Frode Grytten [Tr. Alison McCullough]. This will be published on November 18, 2025 [U.S.A.].
The novel concerns the often heartbreaking memories of Nils Vik, who realizes he is going to die and decides to take a last trip on the fjord.
I'm only 35% into it, but I can already recommend it for the touching, lonely portrait of the narrator's voice, and the incredibly nuanced writing of Frode Grytten.
The novel is a literary novel, by the way.
