Biographie de l'auteur :

TARJEI VESAAS was born in 1897 in the remote rural Telemark district of Norway, where he spent most of his life.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Two 11-year old girls, Unn and Siss, meet: Unn is about to reveal a secret, one that leads to her death in a formation of ice caused by a large waterfall. Siss s struggle with her fidelity to the memory of a friend, the strange frozen world of the waterfall and the description of Unn s fatal exploration of the ice palace are described in prose of a lyrical economy that ranks among the memorable achievements of modern literature.
