Dolly
Den 83-årige Franklin og hans 71-årige livspartner er gået i gang med at planlægge deres sortie. De føler sig tilfredse med det liv, de har levet sammen, lykkeligt og stille. Men på grund af uenighed om hvorvidt der skal skrives et afskedsbrev eller ej, udskyder de deres fælles selvmord på ubestemt tid. Pludselig en dag ringer sælgeren Gwendolyn på døren, og fra det øjeblik forandres parrets forhold. Hvor godt kender vi de mennesker, vi deler vores liv med, og hvordan påvirker vores valg dem, vi elsker?
Alice Munro skriver begavet og subtilt om de menneskelige relationers underliggende kaos og om den ensomhed, som på en eller anden måde rammer os alle. Dolly er et godt eksempel på, hvorfor Munro i 2013 blev tildelt Nobelprisen i litteratur.

Första gången på länge som jag läser en novell och gillade språket men känns som det blir för kort för att komma in i berättelsen men vill nog läsa med av Munro!

Ok. The writing is fine, I just think that the woman in this completely overreacted. Other wise she seems an intelligent person.

Dolly by Alice Monro ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~
Oooh, I really enjoyed this novel by the talented Alice Monro. How misunderstandings and jealousy can cause havoc even for a couple who has known each other for a long time. And how important communivation is. It’s underplayed funny and I want to get to know the characters in real life. They’d make great guests at a dinner party im sure. Love these short stories from @novellix.dk in between novels. #dolly #alicemunro #novellix

Makalöst att skapa så mycket spänning och drama, kärlek och förtvivlan på ynka 30 korta sidor. Hon är sannerligen en novell-mästarinna!

Spännande, kärleksfull med en dos drama.

Snabb. Gripande. Kärleksfull och sorglig.

Jag gick in med noll förväntningar men tyckte att den här överraskade mig på ett bra sätt.

Ibland är noveller som koncept extremt svårt. 😅 Vet inte vilket betyg jag ska sätta, lämnar tomt för tillfället men lutar mot 2-3. Bra språk, absolut, men får inget bra grepp på historien.

A short story with a surprise, by a master of the short story.
