For February, our booksellers were set the task of choosing a book with the theme of love. After considering a wide range of fantastic titles, we have decided on Morning and Evening, the latest translation from Jon Fosse.

About the book-
A child who will be named Johannes is born. An old man named Johannes dies. Between these two points, Jon Fosse gives us the details of an entire life, starkly compressed.
Beginning with Johannes’s father’s thoughts as his wife goes into labour, and ending with Johannes's own thoughts as he embarks upon a day in his life when everything is exactly the same, yet totally different, Morning and Evening is a novel concerning the beautiful dream that our lives have meaning.
