by Frode Grytten

Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill · 2025 · 176 pages

On his final day, a ferryman embarks on his last route, a journey mirrored by the spectral passengers who join him, each a memory from his past. As he navigates the familiar waters of the fjord, ghosts of loved ones, including his late wife, emerge, prompting reflections on a life lived and the moments that truly mattered. This poignant, reverse-chronological novel is a profound meditation on love, loss, and the enduring echoes of everyday existence.
