About The Book
Farewell to Skiing follows Lars Svensson, an American expatriate working as a site engineer in the United Kingdom who feels stuck in an increasingly strained relationship with his English girlfriend. Wanting a break, and encouraged by colleagues, Lars impulsively heads to a ski chalet in Verbier, Switzerland, hoping to reclaim some joy on the slopes and escape his everyday troubles.
What he expects to be a typical skiing holiday becomes something far more complex. At the chalet he meets Annabel, a captivating woman whose charm and presence complicate his plans. Through a mix of romance, self‑reflection, and adventure, Lars finds himself torn between the thrill of skiing, his attraction to Annabel, and his unresolved feelings back home.
Kurt Larson employs a stream‑of‑consciousness style that invites readers deep into Lars’s thoughts and emotions as he grapples with love, identity, and the choices that define his life. Along the way, the narrative blends picturesque mountain escapades with candid explorations of desire, relationship dynamics, and personal growth, culminating in both passionate moments and poignant realizations.
