«Cap a Sibèria» is the novel by Per Petterson, published by Club Editor in paperback (248 pages, in Catalan).
The narrator dreams of Siberia when she is free. Meanwhile, guided by her brother, she explores a childhood isolated like a bubble: a village by the sea, cold relatives, a grandfather in taverns, a mother who sings hymns, a silent father. In April 1940 the German occupation of Denmark breaks it; the desire to flee clashes with the fear of leaving her loved ones.
Third novel by Per Petterson, translated from Norwegian by Anne-Lise Cloetta and Coral Romà; it won the Nordic Council Literature Prize. It is no. 34 in the El Club dels Novel·listes collection.
For readers of Nordic fiction and novels about childhood, family memory and the impact of war.
