"Flood" is a modern family chronicle, a story about recklessness and arrogance, about love and loss. This drama transcends the narrow, taciturn environment of a small Norwegian town, growing to describe Man and his fate in an era when God is truly dead, but from his grave still punishes us for our countless sins. Vivid, harsh prose pushes the reader into reality , which cannot be left until the path of the novel’s heroes is completed to the end. And even then it’s hard to part with her.
