Set in Oslo, New York and Paris, ‘Girl, 1983’ is a genre-defying and bravura quest through layers of memory and oblivion. As in her landmark previous work, ‘Unquiet’, Linn Ullmann continues to probe the elegiac sway of memory as she looks for ways to disclose a long-guarded secret. A delineation of time and place over the course of a life, this remarkable novel insistently criss-crosses the path of a wayward sixteen-year-old girl lost in Paris. ‘Girl, 1983’ is a raw and haunting exposure of beauty and forgetting, desire and shame, power and powerlessness.
