Stark look at Norwegian rural life
A wonderful and bleak look into Norwegian farm life and the difficulties faced daily trying to adhere to modern life. There are plenty of tragedies in the Barroy family, but they seem to deal with the toil to the best of their abilities.

The translation may have obscured some of the dialogue, which seemed like it was set in Scotland rather than Scandinavia but the writing is sharp and descriptive without over cluttering the main plot.

A little disjointed in places, however this is one of Cronenbergs better pieces of work.
Viggo Mortenson is great as the man with a past trying to play it straight and live a normal life.
Its compelling viewing as his family buckles under pressure applied to them from Tom's former associates as they try to force him to relive his past life. Solid viewing.

Emotional
Contains spoilers, click to show
An emotional well written book, the author opens up about the run up to the death of her young daughter who falls ill at the age of three and her life beforehand. She also talks about life after and how her and her family struggled to come to terms with what had happened. I struggled to put the book down and felt emotionally involved whilst reading.
