Little Adult

Norwegian title: Vesle voksen

Little Adult is a book for parents who want to be able to let go when their twenty-year-olds leave home to make their own lives.

Through many conversations, Guro Hoftun gets close to people and draws a map of the situation of young adults in Norway, what kind of jobs and careers they start, what they struggle with and what they want. And how parents, who nowadays may be closer to their children than ever, handle letting their little adults be independent.

In this book, Guro Hoftun sets the stage for an important and timely discussion of young adults who need to find their own way, and dedicated parents who want a good relationship with their adult children.
