If Only – first published in Norway in 2001, and now brought into English by Charlotte Barslund – is viewed in Norway as Vigdis Hjorth’s masterpiece, a story of the devastation wreaked on one woman’s life by an ill-advised affair.
Hjorth was in conversation with Lauren Oyler (Fake Accounts, No Judgement)
