Spring is a deeply moving, lyrical memoir that reflects on family, everyday life, joys, and struggles, all set within a single day. It begins on April 13, 2016, as the author shares his experiences and thoughts, acknowledging the pain of living while emphasizing the importance of finding something to live for. In this third volume of the Seasons quartet, we follow Karl Ove and his three-month-old daughter, Anna, throughout a day filled with routine, the light of new life, and the shadows of deeper struggles. The narrative celebrates the beauty of the ordinary, revealing the significance hidden within small events in our lives. Unlike the first two volumes, which consist of short texts reflecting on nature and the material world, this installment is a narrative memoir that reads like a short novel. It is emotionally captivating and serves as an accessible entry point for new readers, while also resonating deeply with devoted fans. This edition is beautifully illustrated by acclaimed Swedish artist Anna Bjerger, enhancing the overall experience of the text.
