'Unquiet' by Linn Ullman

‘Unquiet’ by Linn Ullmann is a fascinating book, a memoir written as a novel. A daughter wanting to interview her father, to write about his life, before it’s too late. She writes about her ideas and the realities of talking with a man in his 80s. It’s a book about connection between father and daughter of a rather unusual family. I did not know, who is this father, the mother, the daughter before I read the book. I adored it on its own merit.

Novelist Deborah Levy put it perfectly on the book’s back page ‘A haunting meditation on the shifting moods between women and men over a lifetime of making art; the pains and pleasures of attachment, the boiling emotions of girlhood, the conflicts of motherhood, and the enchantment of a secluded home on the edge of a stormy sea in which a famous father writes his dreams on the bedside table. I could not put it down.’

Yes! Highly recommended. One of the books I will to read again.
