The Ferryman and His Wife 

by Frode Grytten, trans. Alison McCullough

Algonquin Books/Hachette


    Nils Vik is at the end of a life lived in service to others. He has regrets, people he feels he might've done better by. But he misses his wife Marta and it has become time to meet her again. 

    This is a quiet story of a quiet life - thoughtful, tender, sad, humorous - filled with loving people. Everything we all hope to see looking back at our own.
