Navarro Skaranger Maria - Emily Forever - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Em's nineteen years old and pregnant. Her boyfriend Pablo has gone out 'to take care of something and hasn't returned. Her mother who raised Emily alone moves into the little apartment to help. Meanwhile Em's neighbour who may or may not be a clergyman wonders if it's normal to be so infatuated with someone you've never spoken to. Em's boss at the supermarket might have feelings for her too if only she'd notice. Emily Forever is a poignant achingly hard - hitting book about class and about digging deep to find what it takes to get by. At the same time it's a deeply original exploration of how a girl like Emily is seen from the outside by those who think they know who she is and how her life is supposed to pan out. Empathetic and quizzical and scathingly humorous Emily Forever is a novel of unyielding solidarity and smouldering social dissent by a new star of Scandinavian literature.
