Book Group Title: Ferryman and His Wife A LIBRARY READS PICK AND ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025 For everyone who loved The Correspondent and When the Cranes Fly South, the renowned, bestselling Norwegian author Frode Grytten takes readers on a quietly epic journey: ferry driver Nils Vik’s last route along the fjord, on what he knows will be his last day alive. Nils Vik wakes up on November the 18th and knows it will be the day he dies. He follows his morning routine as voices from his past echo in his mind, and looks around the empty house one last time, before stepping onto his beloved boat. His dog, dead these many years, leaps aboard with him, and then the other dead begin to emerge – from the woods along the fjord, from each of the ferry stops along the route, from his logbook full of memories and quotations and jotted-down notes about the weather conditions. The people from the past accompany him now, prodding him, showing him what he might have missed before, as he waits for his Marta, his late, remarkable wife, to finally join him on the boat again. Winner of the prestigious Brage Prize, and considered to be Grytten’s long-awaited masterpiece, The Ferryman and His Wife is the story of a quiet, yet utterly profound, life told in reverse. Timeless and absorbing, this is a novel about what we take with us – those moments that might seem insignificant as they happen but prove to be the most meaningful, in the end. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oregon-city/lit-book-group-ferryman-and-his-wife/200029915360755 - **Event Categories**: meetups, art, literary-art, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Oregon City - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: 503 Main St, Oregon City, OR, United States, Oregon 97045 - **lat**: 45.35689 - **long**: -122.61012 - **full address**: 503 Main St, Oregon City, OR, United States, Oregon 97045 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lit Book Group - "Ferryman and His Wife" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/0a9360ee224761ec7c23ad57c5fdba65c1bf263fc099f88682114571182aed64-rimg-w790-h836-dcbe4781-gmir?v=1775760534 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lit Book Group - "Ferryman and His Wife" being held? - **A:** Lit Book Group - "Ferryman and His Wife" takes place on Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm at 503 Main St, Oregon City, OR, United States, Oregon 97045. - **Q**: Who is organizing Lit Book Group - "Ferryman and His Wife"? - **A:** Lit Book Group - "Ferryman and His Wife" is organized by White Rabbit Books & Gifts. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
