In the book Out Stealing Horses the setting is taken place in Norway. The main character Trond lives in a rural cabin on a hill over looking a lake. The area he lives in doesn't have a lot of people and is very nature filled. The setting really defines Trond because it demands him to be strong due to the weather and the harsh living conditions. Trond chose to live in a rural area by himself (other than his dog) shows his very content and likes the silence with himself. This book is very descriptive and makes me feel like I am there watching everything happen from a distance. Per Petterson is a great author and I'm excited to see what else he has in store.
