El despertar es una conmovedora novela del autor noruego Roy Jacobsen. La historia se centra en la relación entre Finn, un niño de once años, y su madre, quienes comparten un vínculo íntimo y de plena confianza. Desde que su padre los abandonó, Finn se ha convertido en el mayor apoyo para su madre, y ella es su refugio. Sin embargo, la llegada de un enigmático inquilino y la inesperada aparición de una hermanastra pondrán a prueba su especial relación, en una época de dificultades económicas que amenazan su vida en Oslo. Una narración sobre la importancia del amor y el perdón, que explora la fragilidad de los lazos familiares y la búsqueda de la identidad en tiempos de cambio.
