The Ferryman and His Wife by Frode Grytten
Paperback, £11.99 (bookclub price)
How would you spend your last day? And whom would you spend it with? Ferryman Nils Vik chooses to head out onto the fjord, as he has for many years.
Today, the 18th of November, his trip is different. As his trusty boat reaches the sea, a lifetime of passengers join him from beyond the grave, among them his rescue dog, the American photographer he thought of as his friend and young Jon Anderson, whose funeral Nils attended. But Nils is truly waiting for just one passenger: his beloved wife Marta, whose absence has marked each day since her passing.
