Season of Stones

André Hille’s novel ‘Season of Stones’ tells the story of a single day from morning to midnight, a day full of work, errands, interactions, arguments, thoughts, feelings and memories. A day full of tension. Every day contains a whole life, with its highs and lows, events and encounters, and the images and thoughts they evoke. Confronted with the children’s desires and personalities, which are tenderly and lovingly described, the narrator remembers his own difficult childhood in the East, and asks himself what it means to be a good father and where the conflict with his wife Levje springs from. Thoughtful and moving, disarmingly honest, sometimes angry, then funny again, written with an almost magical precision, ‘Season of Stones’ is an unforgettable contemporary novel.
