If Sarah Jessica Parker shares it… I for sure have to find it…thanks to my local library for having a copy of this tiny but mighty Title!
Love…
As a mom it’s hard to tackle a book in one sitting but in this case at 180 pages I did the work! This story takes place during a single night about a mother and son… they are new to a town in Norway. The mother Vibeke was headed out to the library but since it was closed found herself at a traveling carnival. Her son John left early to sell lottery tickets for his sports club. Both of them come in contact with an array of characters as you follow them through the night.
Vibeke can easily be portrayed as self absorbed but I also felt like her turn of the evening was real/relatable in some aspects. While poor John senses the good in all that is happening around him.
I felt loneliness from these two characters in very different ways.
