In her old house by the fjord, Signe lies on a bench and sees a vision of
herself as she was more than twenty years earlier: standing by the window
waiting for her husband Asle, on that terrible late November day when he took
his rowboat out onto the water and never returned. Her memories widen out to
include their whole life together, and beyond: the bonds of family and the
battles with implacable nature stretching back over five generations, to Asle's
great-great-grandmother Aliss. In Jon Fosse's vivid, hallucinatory prose, all
these moments in time inhabit the same space, and the ghosts of the past collide
with those who still live on. Aliss at the Fire, is a visionary masterpiece, a
haunting exploration of love and loss that ranks among the greatest meditations
on marriage and human fate.
