Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson
An interesting coming of age story , two stories in fact, coming of age as a young man ( 15 yrs old in Norway 1948) and then coming of age again as an older man (Norway 2000)Both resolved by the insight of the protagonist 's experience "we do decide for ourselves when it will hurt." Loss is conveyed with all the intensity of a boy’s perception, but acquires new resonance in the brooding consciousness of the older man.
