Peter Stamm: Ungfähre Landschaft (2001)

Translation: Marie Išková, Hugo Kysilka, Dauphin 2009

The heroine of this slowly unwinding melacholic tale, which takes place in the small Norweigian harbours far beyond the polar circle is a woman experiencing a rebirth. Planning a trip to Paris she dreams about finding her inner peace, which would rid her of old wrongdoings and which would let her catch a glimpse of her life as a new journey.
