Spring

byKarl Ove Knausgaard, Anna Bjerger (Illustrator), Ingvild Burkey (Translator)

From the Sunday Times Bestselling Author (Seasons Quartet 3)

Spring is a deeply moving novel about family, our everyday lives, our joys and our struggles, beautifully illustrated by Anna Bjerger.

'Moving... A circadian novel, set over one day... Entirely ingenious' Daily Telegraph

Spring follows a father and his newborn daughter through one day in April, from sunrise to sunset. It is a day filled with the small joys of family life, but also its deep struggles. With this striking novel in the Seasons quartet, Karl Ove Knausgaard reflects uncompromisingly on life's darkest moments and what can sustain us through them.

'Fall in love with the world, Knausgaard enjoins, stay sensitive to it, stay in it' New York Times

About the series

Knausgaard Seasons Quartet Series by Karl Ove Knausgaard

Entirely ingenious. Knausgaard isn’t afraid to be gauche, anxious, vulgar, inconsistent, portentous, sentimental. He makes virtues of what, in literary novels, are often counted faults. And he makes them moving.
