Girl, 1983
Over seven taut, sharp but elusive novels, the Norwegian writer Linn Ullmann has sought to refine experience into stories that carve order, even beauty, from a shadowed past . . . Girl, 1983 nods to Annie Ernaux, Marguerite Duras and other kindred literary spirits - but her method and manner has a tact and finesse all its own . . . If her fictions transcend the raw stuff of autobiography, they never deny the soil from which they spring . . . Ullmann crafts her words with unflagging care

Girl, 1983
"By writing down what happened, by telling the story as truthfully as I can, I'm trying to bring them together into one body-the woman from 2021 and the girl from 1983. I don't know if it can be done." Paris, a winter's night in 1983. She is sixteen years old, lost in unfamiliar streets. On a scrap of paper in her pocket is the address of a photographer, K, thirty years her senior. Almost four decades later, as her life and the world around her begin to unravel, the grown woman seeks to comprehend the young girl of before. Set in Oslo, New York, and Paris, Girl, 1983 is a genre-defying and bravura quest through layers of memory and oblivion. As in her landmark previous work, Unquiet, Linn Ullmann's narrator continues to probe the elegiac sway of memory as she looks for ways to disclose a long-guarded secret. A delineation of time and place over the course of a life, this remarkable novel insistently crisscrosses the path of a wayward sixteen-year-old girl lost in Paris. Girl, 1983 is a raw and haunting exposure of beauty and forgetting, desire and shame, power and powerlessness.

Siri Brodal, a chef and restaurant owner, is married to Jon Dreyer, a famous novelist plagued by writer's block. Siri and Jon have two daughters, and together they spend their summers on the coast of Norway, in a mansion belonging to Jenny Brodal, Siri's stylish and unforgiving mother. Siri and Jon's marriage is loving but difficult, and troubled by painful secrets. They have a strained relationship with their elder daughter, Alma, who struggles to find her place in the family constellation. When Milla is hired as a nanny to allow Siri to work her long hours at the restaurant and Jon to supposedly meet the deadline on his book, life in the idyllic summer community takes a dire turn. One rainy July night, Milla disappears without a trace. After her remains are discovered and a suspect is identified, everyone who had any connection with her feels implicated in her tragedy and haunted by what they could have done to prevent it. More than an absorbing mystery, The Cold Song is a story about telling stories and about how life is continually invented and reinvented.

Die Unruhigen
Sehen, sich erinnern, verstehen. Alles hängt davon ab, wo du stehst. Als sie zum ersten Mal nach Hammars kam, war sie ein knappes Jahr alt und wusste nichts von der großen und umwälzenden Liebe, die sie dorthin geführt hatte. Im Grunde waren es drei Lieben. Vater und Tochter sitzen mit einem Aufnahmegerät zwischen sich zusammen. Ihr Plan lautet, das Altern in einem Buch zu dokumentieren, das sie gemeinsam schreiben wollen. Als sie ihn endlich in die Tat umsetzen wollen, hat das Alter ihn in einer Weise eingeholt, die ihre Gespräche unvorhersehbar und unzusammenhängend macht. "Die Unruhigen" ist ein zarter, kraftvoller Roman über ein Kind, das es nicht erwarten kann, erwachsen zu werden, und Eltern, die am liebsten Kinder sein wollen, über Erinnerungen und Vergessen und die vielen Geschichten, die ein Leben ausmachen.

Die Lügnerin
Das Buch, mit dem Linn Ullmann berühmt wurde.Die Bloms sind eine Familie, die eines Woody- Allen-Films würdig wäre, jeder einzelne liebenswert und verrückt, leicht schräg und auf besondere Art unglücklich. Vor allem die Frauen aus drei Generationen geben den Ton an: June und Selma, die alten Kämpferinnen, dann Annie, die Unwiderstehliche, und schließlich ihre Töchter, hier Julie, stets am Rand der Verzweiflung, da Karin, die gern Geschichten erzählt, Männer verführt und lügt. Julies Hochzeit bildet den Auftakt zu einem Familienporträt, das mit Witz und Scharfsinn Lebenslügen demontiert und erzählt, was so alles zwischen Menschen passieren kann, die sich nahestehen.
