Out Stealing Horses

This is a compelling retrospective book that isn't as ambitious as it could be, by which I mean that the two characters Trond and Lars do not speak of that which the reader eventually learns. It is an unspoken conflict and you could make the argument that they should confront one another, to bring that conflict to the foreground. For me, their NOT speaking of it makes them far more interesting characters, even if the tension is not as electric as it could be.
