Items related to Silence in October
After 18 years of marriage, the narrator's wife has left home. Astrid's departure causes her art-historian husband to reassess and question his whole existence; not just his relationship with Astrid, but with their children, friends, his previous lovers, his work and perhaps most significantly, himself. Moment by moment, in the silence of their Copenhagen apartment, the puzzle of his life takes shape.
Grondahl explores with great subtlety the secret, unpredictable connections between men and women. Highly visual, deeply moving and utterly riveting, Silence in October is a work of immense acuity and masterful storytelling that reveals a novelist at the height of his powers. Published across Europe to outstanding critical acclaim, Grondahl's ninth novel is a major piece of contemporary fiction that will quite literally change the way you think about life.
