Save the Children

Norwegian title: Redd barna

Tiril Broch

Tanja has moved to Hakadal outside of Oslo with her husband and two children. Here she tries to build a home, make packed lunches, keep the driveway clear of snow, teach her children the difference between right and wrong – and put the past behind her. This proves more difficult than she initially imagined.Save the Children is a warm, powerful novel about sorrow, fear and everday Sisyphean labour.‘It is well done to write such a rich novel about such hard and big questions in life, in so few words.’ STAVANGER AFTENBLAD
