The book is primarily about Knausgård's difficult relationship with his father. Growing up as the youngest of two sons, the reader is taken through Knausgård's early life in the first half of the novel. The narrative jumps from present to past on a number of occasions, which made the experience of remembering all the more authentic. As a reader, I felt as though I was going on a very personal journey with the author, and I sensed a genuine connection with the writer, in a way I don't recall experiencing before. This is highly personal, and a very moving read.
