The Seventh Meeting

Book Review

«The Seventh Meeting» by Herbjørg Wassmo is a finely crafted drama in which the destinies of the characters intertwine like threads in an ancient tapestry. With her characteristic psychological depth, the author reveals the inner worlds of her characters, allowing the reader to feel their doubts, passions, and pain. Wassmo masterfully uses language: her sentences sound transparent and musical, and her imagery is filled with northern restraint and hidden passion. Critics note that the novel impresses with its honesty and emotional power, as well as the author's ability to create an atmosphere where past and present merge into a single whole. «The Seventh Meeting» is not only a story of love and loss, but also a meditation on memory, time, and the inevitability of encounters that change life forever. The book leaves behind a sense of quiet sadness and gentle hope, reminding us how fragile and beautiful the human soul is.
