Morning Star

Karl Ove Knausgård, Martin Aitken

A long and complex read, composed of intriguing, short deep dives into the intimate lives of loosely connected individuals, against a backdrop of an unusually hot summer in Norway. Marriages unravel, mental health struggles, illness and addiction strain families under the glare of a strange star which seems to have a kind of magnifying effect on both the faith and inconstancy of the characters.
