"Stoltenberg's elegant prose makes each scene . . . so engaging that it gives plot a bad name."--John Self, Guardian For her entire life, Karin has fled anything and anyone that tries to possess her. Her job demands little, she mostly socializes with men she meets online, and she's rarely in touch with Helene, her adult daughter. But when Helene's marriage is threatened, she turns, uncharacteristically, to her mother for commiseration, and a long weekend away in London. As the two women embark on their uneasy companionship, Karin's past, and the origins of her studied detachments, are cast in a new light, and she can no longer ignore their effects--on not only herself and her own relationships, but on her daughter's as well. An unnerving, closely observed study of character--and the choices we do and do not make-- Near Distance introduces Hanna Stoltenberg as a writer of piercing insight and startling lucidity.
