Norwegia, początek lat 70. Czteroosobowa rodzina - matka, ojciec i dwóch chłopców - przenosi się na południe kraju. Nowy dom, nowe otoczenie. Dzieci są małe, a rodzice młodzi, życie stoi przed nimi otworem. Do czasu. W pewnym momencie ich przyszłość zostaje określona z góry. Kto lub co wyznacza ich drogę? Moja walka. Księga 3. to książka, w której Karl Ove Knausgard powraca do czasów dzieciństwa. Okresu, w którym sukcesy dają najwięcej satysfakcji, porażki bolą najdotkliwiej, a każda próba odpowiedzi na pytanie 'kim jestem?' nie daje wystraczającej satysfakcji. Dla autora i głównego bohatera to czas przeplatania się codziennej beztroski z przerażającym lękiem. Matczynej miłości z okrucieństwem ojca. Po tym jak w pierwszej części Karl Ove szokował naturalistycznym spojrzeniem na alkoholizm i śmierć, a w drugim tomie z bezwzględną szczerością pisał o ojcostwie i małżeństwie, Knausgard zachwyca po raz trzeci.
Set against the backdrop of a sweltering Oslo summer, the story unfolds with the murder of a young woman, marked by a severed finger and a mysterious red diamond pentagram. Detective Harry Hole, struggling with alcoholism and distrust towards his colleague Tom Waaler, finds himself reluctantly partnered with him. As they investigate the case, Harry grapples with his suspicions about Tom's involvement in arms smuggling and the death of his partner, all while trying to maintain his precarious position in the police force.
Moja walka — precyzyjna, wciągająca i bardzo mocna. Autobiograficzna powieść, w której rzeczywistość przeraża bardziej niż najmroczniejsze skandynawskie kryminały. Wszystko zaczęło się w Malmö, nocą 27 lutego 2008 roku, gdy trzydziestodziewięcioletni Karl Ove Knausgård rozpoczął analizę swojego życia. Po publikacji pierwszego tomu Mojej walki świat czytelniczy wstrzymał oddech… Autobiograficzna książka — opisująca intymne życie rodzinne i najbliższych — wzbudziła tak ogromne zainteresowanie i wywołała taki skandal, że wiele norweskich firm wywieszało oficjalne tablice zakazujące rozmawiania na temat tej powieści w pracy. Prawa do wydania Mojej walki zakupiło dziewiętnaście krajów, a krytyka światowa uznała ją za arcydzieło.
