How can a couple continue living together while knowing that one of them is dying, that in a year one will be left alone, that this is the last New Year they will spend side by side? In this deeply moving novel, \u00d8rstavik explores the ups and downs of such a relationship, the words left unsaid in the face of inevitable death, and the physical and emotional pain of a dying husband. Written from the perspective of an unnamed narrator, the story feels intensely personal, making it difficult to believe that it is not drawn from the author\u2019s own experience. This only adds to its emotional power. \u00d8rstavik raises profound questions about death, love, honesty, and how people speak \u2014 or fail to speak \u2014 about what is happening to them. A sad but deeply thoughtful novel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Places I hoped and believed really did exist, that was the reason I fell for you in the first place, your eyes, the promise they held of this great inner landscape where perhaps I could wander too, at your side. Who are you?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Original Title : Ti Amo<\/mark><\/strong> How can a couple continue living together while knowing that one of them is dying, that in a year one will be left alone, that this is the last New Year they will spend side by side?
