An electrifying story about love and new life from the international phenomenon, Karl Ove Knausgaard

An electrifying story about love and new life from the international phenomenon, Karl Ove Knausgaard.

* Karl Ove Knausgaard's dazzling new novel, The Morning Star, is available to pre-order now *

This is a book about leaving your wife and everything you know.

It is about fresh starts, about love, about friendship. It is also about the earth-shattering experience of becoming a father, the mundane struggles of family life, ridiculously unsuccessful holidays, humiliating antenatal music classes, fights with quarrelsome neighbours, the emotional strains of childrens' birthday parties and pushing a pram around Stockholm when all you really want to do is write.

This is a book about one man's life but, somehow, about everyone else's too.

Praise for A Man in Love

Compelling, rewarding, maddening...breathtaking

Observer

My favourite book of the year… He has the ability to make the small details of his life fascinating

William Leith, Spectator

Shocking and compulsive

Dazed & Confused

A stunningly eloquent set of reflections on masculinity, domesticity and the artist's itch to escape

Boyd Tonkin, Independent

This is a reading experience like no other. Fearless in its truth-telling and as real as life, it is an epic study of what it feels like to be alive

Carys Davies, Metro
