Über diesen Titel
'Breathtakingly powerful' Guardian
'This startling, absorbing book will leave you fizzing with anger and possibility' Noreen Masud
In the blue dusk of a spring evening, a man is drawn to a lonely, beautiful stranger across a station platform. She follows him home, and over one heady night of wine and cigarettes, recounts to him the devastating story of her life . . .
First published in 1947, Nothing Grows by Moonlight tells the haunting tale of one woman’s soul-shattering love affair. When an obsessive passion for her high school teacher consumes a small-town seventeen-year-old, her life spirals out of control, giving way to pregnancy, poverty and alienation. Here, darkness and light converge, and unrequited love blooms against the shadows of societal injustices, as she fights for autonomy: over her life, her mind and her body.
Captivating, visceral and brimming with emotion, Nothing Grows by Moonlight is a feminist classic of Scandinavian literature, and an uncompromising ode to female desire.

Kritikerstimmen
Breathtakingly powerful... the story powers through to a conclusion that's both hard to read and impossible to look away from—John Self, Guardian
Visceral... offers a portrait, occasionally touching on the gothic, of what an oppressive society can do to the minds and bodies of both teenage girls and industrial workers. There's a remarkable energy to Nedreaas's prose—Literary Review
Nothing Grows by Moonlight, in a luminous translation by Bibbi Lee, is as enigmatic as its title. Across a station platform in the blue twilight of a spring evening, a man is drawn to the sight of a woman, a stranger. The scene is at once electric and dramatic... Throughout the course of the long night, her own desperate tale of devastating love and its tortuous consequences is revealed—Irish Times
