These Moments is a novel about a writer’s life from adolescence till she is a full-fledged artist. Herbjørg Wassmo writes about lack of self-confidence and the struggle to become something, about dreams and a steadfast will to be creative. It is also the story of Norway’s recent history, about education and family life in a time wrought with changes. It is about yearning for a love she doesn’t believe in, and about betrayal. And about being sensitive to impressions and enclosed in your own stubbornness.Most of the story takes place in an expansive and challenging northern Norwegian landscape, and it is related by a narrator who is generous, tender and somewhat self-ironic, even when life is harsh. Here we meet a woman who does things she doesn’t really dare to do, who transcends taboos and paves a way that is completely her own. Critical acclaim:"With These Moments Wassmo has written a brave and passionate story - about the life of a writer, a woman, a human being." Dagbladet"Well written, well-shaped, unscrupulously honest [..] The lines sing, the description is driven forward by the characters in short, tense scenes." VG"The sensibility is not something external the writer forces down on herself or her writing, but an engine, or an inner force that lifts the sentences from a well-thought-out to a well-felt-out sphere. These lines haven't been through Wassmo's head before appearing on paper, they have been through all of her body [...] Wassmo does not lecture us. Life isn't evaluated or explained. It is told. That's Wassmo's gift as a story-teller". AftenpostenHerbjørg Wassmo's autobiographic novel is a vivid and intense story about escaping the intense grasps of grief, and to use one's inner fierce to create a life and a career as a writer for oneself. PolitikenIn These Moments Hebjørg Wassmo outstands herself, and you can probably not find a more elegant way reconcile with your own life. Jyllands-postenThe story of the main character's developement is [...] also a story of liberation, and a portrait of the birth of an author. In that way the novel is spectacular. And as a collection of reminiscences, it an't get any better than this.
