Sometimes the one person who is the center of your life is not yourself. "The Discoverer" is the third novel of a trilogy of Jonas Wergeland, a man just leaving prison for the death of his wife. On a ship with his daughter, he starts to ponder the meaning of his life. A touching and poignant novel from remarkable Norwegian author Jan Kjerstad, deftly translated by Barbara Haveland, "The Discoverer" is a solid piece of world literature, highly recommended.
