A spellbinding pursuit of divine mysteries from the celebrated author of My Struggle

ā€œThe writing glows with an intense awareness of the here and now, and loving observations of landscapes and objects . . . an extraordinary novel, and completely original.ā€ ā€”The Independent

In the sixteenth century, Antinous Bellori, a boy of eleven, is lost in a dark forest and stumbles upon two glowing beingsā€”one carrying a spear, the other a flaming torch. This event is decisive in Belloriā€™s life, and he thereafter devotes himself to the pursuit and study of angels, the intermediaries of the divine.
 
Stretching from the Garden of Eden to the present, A Time for Everything reimagines key allegorical encounters between humans and angels: the glow of the cherubim watching over Eden; the profound love between Cain and Abel despite their differences; Lotā€™s shame in Sodom; Noahā€™s isolation before the flood; Ezekiel tied to his bed, prophesying ferociously; the death of Christ; and the emergence of sensual, mischievous cherubs in the seventeenth century. Alighting upon these dramatic scenesā€”from the Bible and beyond--Knausgaardā€™s imagination takes flight. The result is a dazzling display of storytelling at its majestic, spellbinding best. Incorporating and challenging tradition, legend, and the Apocrypha, these penetrating glimpses hazard chilling questions: can the nature of the divine undergo change, and can the immortal perish?
