A Worker’s Heart – Book 2 expands and continues the story of Trond: a middle-aged man from Namsos who no longer recognises himself or the country he comes from. It is the story of a fall, and of a possible way back.

Trond tries to get his life back on track. He looks for a new job, tries to repair his relationship with his wife, and his daughter has fallen ill. At the same time, he looks back – he tries to understand himself and the society he is part of, he tries to find his own story.

A Worker’s Heart is an impressive, riveting two-volume novel about class and an authentic and deeply humanistic story about community in all its forms – family, social, political, national. It’s about a community that is falling apart, but also about what it takes to rebuild it.
