Sofia has run off to Spain with Leon, leaving her husband Simen back home in Norway. Simen is used to this kind of behavior. But then Leon goes to North Africa, where he plans to commit suicide in the desert, and Simen begs Sofia to return home. In this finely observed psychological novel, the characters are all running away - from themselves, from the others, and from life in general. According to Sofia deals with two themes common to many great novels: a fearful sense of existential isolation, and a corresponding need to reach out and make contact with others.
A giddyingly magical fable of the power of unshackled desire, set in a North Sea fishing community.
"Simens stormer" er andre bind i en trilogi som begynte med "Ifølge Sofia" (2001). Oppfølgeren handler om tiden som går, om feiltakelsene vi begår, om en oppvekst og et ekteskap og om en mor som bruker en sommer på å forberede et stup på grunt vann. Øystein Lønn debuterte i 1966 med novellesamlingen "Prosesjonen", og har siden etablert seg som en av Norges fremste forfattere. I 1996 fikk han Nordisk Råds litteraturpris, han har også mottatt både Brageprisen og Kritikerprisen.
