'Knausgaard unearths the mysteries of the commonplace' Observer

 In Summer, Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about long days full of sunlight, eating ice cream with his children, lawn sprinklers and ladybirds. He experiments with the beginnings of a novel and keeps a diary in which the small events of his family's life are recorded. Against a canvas of memories, longings, and experiences of art and literature, he searches for the meaning of moments as they pass us by.

'Wondrous... There are blissful glimpses of nature's mystery and balance' Financial Times
