Although I had a negative reaction to the title, the review I read was intriguing. How glad I am that I didn't judge this book "by the cover." Petterson tells an engaging story, from the point of view of an older Trond and his young self. Most of the action occurs in a rural Norway, and is a mix of tragic, heroic, amusing, and romantic moments. Well worth the time to read this short and engaging novel.

These are cards for a collection, not to send, so maybe buy two. Robert Sabuda startles, delights, and enchants with his designs. Whether he is making cards or books, his work is worth the glassed-in bookcase where first editions are kept.
