A very quiet and yet vibrant book, bursting with the energy of inner experiences of a child who lives in a small house, perched at the side of a waterfall, with his mother and father, in a small and bucolic Norwegian town. Through the immersion into the present of each moment of the apparently uneventful daily life, the author discloses the richness of emotions and relationships that make up the gist of a truly happy life.
An authentically Scandinavian piece of literature: calm, meditative, freshly vigorous and joyful.
Highly recommended for all ages, especially for children from 5 to 8.
