β¦ Synopsis
A new edition of what is commonly seen as the legendary Norwegian writerβs masterpiece, this story tells the tale of Siss and Unn, two friends who have only spent one evening in each otherβs company. But so profound is this evening between them that when Unn inexplicably disappears, Sissβs world is shattered. Sissβs struggle with her fidelity to the memory of her friend and Unnβs fatal exploration of the strange, terrifyingly beautiful frozen waterfall that is the Ice Palace are described in prose of a lyrical economy that ranks among the most memorable achievements of modern literature.
