Books set in Norway?

[Draconis]

I booked a trip there on a whim and would like to get in the mood. I love linking books to places I'm travelling to.
I'm looking for fiction, any genre except historical, lots of description of nature would be a bonus. Thanks

The Hike by Lucy Clarke?

The Harry Hole books by Jo Nesbø. I'd recommend starting with The Redbreast, #3 in the series.

Alberta and Jacob by Cora Sandel. Written about 100 years ago but feels very modern. Follows a teenage girl stifled by her life in northern Norway.

Definitely not for @Draconis but for anyone else who likes historic novels Kristin Lavrandatter by Sigrid Undset, translated by Tiina Nunnally. Winner of the nobel prize for literature this trilogy follows a medieval woman through her life. Absolutely brilliant and I highly recommend this.

For more modern novels:
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder was a massive best seller when it came out. An introduction to Philosophy in novel form.
Anything by Jon Fosse, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Jo Nesbo.

Jo Nesbo

The Bell in the Lake and The Reindeer Hunters by Lars Mytting. The third in the trilogy is out in February.

Doppler, by Erland Loe

Another fan of Jo Nesbo here.

The Bird Tribunal - Agnes Ravatn

Currently £1.99 on kindle!

Thank you!
I actually have The Hike on my bookshelf and didn't even know it was set in Norway so that's one.
I will go and check out the others too.

I really liked The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas. A strange, poetically written novel about a girl who vanishes in a frozen waterfall and the effect it has on her new friend.

There's also The Nesting by CJ Cooke. I didn't think much of it TBH so just mentioning it because you might have different tastes from me. It's about a woman who cons her way into a nannying job with a British family living in Norway. It's a mix of thriller, ghost story and eco horror. Might be ok if you're looking for a really easy holiday read.

Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson is beautiful.
