Product description

About poverty, class shame and unconditional solidarity: the new, great literary voice from Norway. Author has received many awards, including the Literature Prize of the European Union, the Hunger Prize, the Klassenkampen Culture Prize and the Oslo Prize. Emily is nineteen years old and pregnant. Her boyfriend Pablo recently went out the door 'to settle a matter' and has only been available sporadically on his mobile phone since then. Her mother, who raised Emily alone, decides to move in with Emily in the tiny apartment to help her before and after the birth.

Then there's Emily's neighbor, who wonders if it's okay to fall in love with Emily, even though he's never exchanged a word with her. And Emily's boss at the supermarket may also have feelings for her, but doesn't know how to make himself noticed. Emily must have other worries. Or is she perhaps not worried enough? In 'Emily Forever', Maria Navarro Skaranger revolves around the question of how a woman like Emily is seen by others, by those who think they know who she is and how her life should go. A painfully moving novel about poverty, class shame and unconditional solidarity.
