Out Stealing Horses

by Per Petterson

In the poignant tapestry of 'Out Stealing Horses,' we delve into the reflective world of Trond Sander, who, at sixty-seven, chooses the seclusion of a Norwegian forest cabin for his twilight years. The year is 1948, and a fifteen-year-old Trond is about to experience a summer that etches itself into the core of his being. Amidst the breathtaking backdrop of rural Norway, his youthful escapades on stolen horses spiral into a series of life-altering events marked by tragedy, loss, and betrayal. As the narrative flits between past and present, the threads of Trond's existence unravel, exposing the delicate interplay of memory, identity, and the indelible impact of one's choices. Now, an unexpected encounter with a figure from his past propels Trond into a deep introspection, consolidating his resolve to embrace solitude, haunted yet grounded by the legacies of his formative years.
