The Hills of Midtbø

In the books The Hills of Midtbø (1974) and The Boat in the Daytime (1976), which are here put together in one volume, Halldis Moren Vesaas tells the story of her life with Tarjei Vesaas and life in the small community in Vinje. Openly and simply, with her quiet humour, she invites us into the family, into the life with neighbours and artist friends and her own diverse work. But most of all we meet the man Tarjei Vesaas close up and personal, and we get a vivid image of his rich authorship.

First published: 1974 and 1976, Aschehoug
