Dansen i Firenze

Every photograph tells a story. Some stories simply became too long for a single image.

One summer night in Florence in 1984, fifteen-year-old Fredrik tastes his first cognac and sees a woman dance. One look. One smile. For nineteen years he builds his life around her.

Then he meets Madeleine, who has dreamt the same dream, and who has a secret behind the curtain.

Dansen i Firenze is a novel about love as fantasy and love as action, and about power, in the Medici’s Florence and in an ordinary Norwegian home. It is told by someone standing just outside: close enough to see, too far away to understand at first. It is a story with humour, warmth and a long shadow.

A special and fascinating book. I believe many will benefit from it.

Hans Jakob Stang, MD, specialist in psychiatry (from the foreword)
