The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

One of Jon Fosse’s most acclaimed novels, ‘Boathouse’ is told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator leading a largely hermit-like existence until he unexpectedly encounters a long-lost childhood friend and his wife. Told partially in a stream-of-consciousness style and with an atmosphere reminiscent of a gripping crime novel, the book slowly unravels the story of a love triangle leading to jealousy, betrayal and eventually death.
