Amerika
Det er jenta. Det er moren. Og det er faren.
Og alle novellene handler om det lille livet i det store landet Amerika,
hvor den lille familien reiser for å bo.
To voksne og ett barn i bilen.
En far som savner grantrær.
En mor som har oppdaget søtpotet.
Floker av misforståelser og dårlig samvittighet,
knuter i magen og i tankene,
Det handler om å overleve. Å få puste.
Og i nabohuset skyter en dame mannen sin.

Apen! <3 fantastisk språk av høyt nivå fra Gro Dahle. Lett å leve seg inn i Åses verden, som sliter med å finne seg selv og plassen sin i et helt nytt land. Nydelig!
