My Beating Heart

Alf Kjetil Walgermo

My beating heart deals with life at its finest and also its most awful. Amanda is fourteen years old and in love. At the same time, a dangerous illness threatens to rob her of everything: love and hope of being loved, life itself. But this is not a story about illness. It is a love story. What is it like for a young girl in love to be waiting for a heart transplant? ‘My beating heart is both a description of illness and an extremely well told love story. … It is realistic, sad and romantic at the same time.’ Litteraturavisen Bokstaver ‘Alf Kjetil Walgermo creates a dramatic story filled with hope and doubt – the sometimes optimistic alternating with increasingly depressive periods. … That reader hardly exists who is unaffected – and who does not feel the strain on the body it is to live in uncertainty everyday – when one is young and should have a long life to live. … My beating heart has an intense nerve – written with empathy and insight.’ Gjengangeren ‘A beautiful and funny book to get wiser from.’ Stavanger Aftenblad ‘My beating heart philosophizes on the relation body and soul in such a simple way, so elegantly. … Alf Kjetil Walgermo has written a book with both heart and brain.’ Barnebokkritikk

Barsakh

Simon Stranger

Like most teenagers, Emilie is concerned about her appearance. Clothes, body and calories. But Emilie takes it even further. She works out every day and eats as little as possible. Every meal is a fight. Now Emilie and her family are going to spend the holidays on the Grand Canary. After lunch she sets out for a jog, while only a few kilometers away a boatful of African refugees washes ashore. Soon their paths will cross. For Emilie, the encounter with the refugee is a wakeup call and a turning point in her own life. ‘This novel reaches beyond the sometimes artificial genre which is the young adults novel. The book both can and should be read by everyone.’Dagbladet‘Rarely have we read a novel more engaging than Barsakh, in which the story is set on the Canary Islands, and where the author describes in a masterly way the encounter between the 15-year-old Norwegian girl Emilie and the 18-year-old illegal African immigrant Samuel from Ghana.’Canariposten

But bit by bit, doubts sneak in as to whether he really is guilty. Fillip is good at taking photographs. He comes into contact with some other young people in the town. They obviously have something to hide. Things happen and have happened in Barkvik that cannot be revealed and Fillip gets closer and closer to the truth. But then there is another murder …The second story in the series, De levende og de døde (Dead Loss) is another nerve-tingling thriller about Fillip, available on www.fillipmoberg.no only.
