Springis a deeply moving novel about family, our everyday lives, our joys and our struggles, beautifully illustrated by Anna Bjerger. I have just finished writing this book for you. What happened that summer nearly three years ago, and its repercussions, are long since over. Sometimes it hurts to live, but there is always something to live for.

With this striking novel in the Seasons quartet, Karl Ove Knausgaard reflects uncompromisingly on lifes darkest moments and what can sustain us through them.
