|summary=Brovig's debut novel takes us to a small coastal town in Norway where Else Dybdahl lives, with her daughter and granddaughter, a quietly ordinary life - until the return of a schooldays boyfriend takes her back to the time not so long ago, when life was harder, and to the night that changed everything. A finely written debut reflecting on how things have changed since the 1970s - and how some things haven't.

Then: On the farm above a remote Norwegian hamlet, in 1976, schoolgirl Else is waiting for her mother to return through the wind and the snow. She is also clutching at the kitchen table as the contractions worsen.
