Descriere magazin:
From one of Norway\'s leading writers, translated into English for the very first time, comes a transatlantic novel of dreams, sacrifice, and transformation set at the turn of the twentieth century. The year is 1874. Nesje is a recent widower with a young son, working as a haymaker on an estate in the town of Molde and steadily clearing his own small holding. Then he meets Serianna--an outsider, looking for work, who takes him fishing and smokes a pipe and is thoroughly unlike anyone he\'s met before. Soon the two fall in love and marry, and Nesje begins to dream of a prosperous future. But prosperity is hard to come by. Some Norwegians--including Serianna\'s spirited sister, Gjertine--have begun to immigrate to the American West, attracted by the glimmer of land and commerce. One of Nesje\'s sons follows, while another moves to the city and becomes a wealthy merchant, and another is adopted by Serianna\'s childless brother and sister-in-law. In Norway and in America, however, the turn of the century is approaching: mechanization is superseding skilled labor, the moneyed classes are growing ever more powerful, and sacrifices don\'t always deliver what was promised. Haymaker in Heaven is a sprawling saga--drawn from Edvard Hoem\'s own family history--and a vivid portrait of two countries at a critical moment of intersection. Edvard Hoem is the author of Haymaker in Heaven . He has been one of Norway\'s leading literary writers since his breakthrough with the Critics\' Prize-winning novel The Ferry Crossing in 1974. Tara Chace is the translator of Haymaker in Heaven Her translations from the Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish include work by Jo Nesbø, Per Nilsson, Lene Kaaberbøl, and Agnete Friis. She lives in Seattle.
