You Don't Know Who I Am

Norwegian title: Du vet ikke hvem jeg er

It is like there is another girl inside me, one that does not want to listen to the voice in the darkness, who wants to tease is, who believe that she can do more, that is drawn to the darkness, forcing it even closer, like she wants it, like she wants to pull the fear out of the shadows and take a look at it face to face, do everything it does not like, the worst, there is another girl inside that wants something more. It is that girl that the fear is there to watch over.

You do not know who I am is the stand alone sequel to the debut novel Only Mother, who is God. Elin is twenty years old and has moved from the north of Norway to Oslo to attend school. As the novel begin, she is alone with a new-born baby.
