Soldater græder ikke

by Jesper Nicolaj Christiansen

Elektras far er meldt savnet i Afghanistan, men når hun tager hans gamle soldaterhjelm på, møder hun ham igen som Ridderen. Elektra skal bo på Solsikken sammen med andre børn, der også har været igennem alt for meget. En dag skal børnene på tur, og alting udvikler sig lynhurtigt, da en knaldrød Ferrari dukker op. En stærk fortælling om en pige, der tvangsfjernes fra hjemmet, og nægter at acceptere beskeden om farens skæbne.

Little hard to understand but overall very good and a bit sad

[Selma]

This was a very good book.

This is in many ways a very sad book, with Elektra that has no one left who really care for her anymore. Her mother is drunk, and abusive, while her father is at war in Afghanistan, and believed dead. While also handling themes such as pedophilia, failure, abuse, and violence, but in a way so that they never really become cliché.

I found it funny how the orphanage Elektra is sent to is called the Sunflower, even though there is nothing sunny or good about that place. The kids, and teacher alike are messed up.

The main character, Elektra, is portrayed in such a way that we know that she lost, and it is sad for her, but it isn't everything about her. There is more to her then just her pain.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, and found it very well written.

En god bog i forhold til at min lærer har valgt den. Spændende og dragende. Var dog en smule forvirret.
