Northern Stories dobler omsetningen

Therese Tungen’s latest book, Turn Around was launched last week.
“When Edvin died, six years and ten months old,
I knew I had to write about it. I had to try and understand what happened to us. And to him. I had to write to document and to better understand. Sorrow slowly seeped into the system, into the blood, into every part of the brain, into the skeleton. I wrote and I walked during this time, around and around in our neighbourhood and around and around in what later became the script. It is now one and a half year since that day in August in 2020 and we are still here, breathing and living."
The reviews are filled with praise for this heartbreaking autobiographical novel:
“The tremendous strength in TURN AROUND comes from its ability to articulate the chaotic, unfiltered grief as Tungen experienced it – from the first shock to a diminished version of everyday life. At the same time, it also looks at the bigger picture, reflecting on what the death of a child does to those who are left behind, not to mention what it is that a mourner needs.”
- Vårt Land
“Some books really have a deep affect on you – like when a mother writes about the very worst thing that can happen: losing a child.” – VG
“A powerful, heartbreaking, warm, wise, uplifting and thought-provoking book about a grief that is almost unbearable.” – Aftenposten
