EMILY FOREVER - MARIA NAVARRO SKARANGER KARTONI...

In this novel about poverty  social inequality  and class contempt in Norway  nineteen-year-old
supermarket worker Emily is single  pregnant  and struggling to make ends meet. Em’s nineteen
years old and pregnant. Her boyfriend Pablo has gone out “to take care of something” and hasn’t
returned. Her mother  who raised Emily alone  moves into the little apartment to help.
Meanwhile  Em’s neighbour  who may or may not be a clergyman  wonders if it’s normal to be so
infatuated with someone you’ve never spoken to. Em’s boss at the supermarket might have
feelings for her too  if only she’d notice. Emily Forever is a poignant  achingly hard-hitting
book about class and about digging deep to find what it takes to get by. At the same time  it’s
a deeply original exploration of how a girl like Emily is seen from the outside  by those who
think they know who she is and how her life is supposed to pan out. Empathetic and quizzical 
and scathingly humorous  Emily Forever is a novel of unyielding solidarity and smoldering
social dissent  by a new star of Scandinavian literature.
