Hva hun klager på når hun klager på husarbeidet
About trust and betrayal, motherhood and sexuality.
Vigdis’ marriage has lasted for twenty-two years, but she desires nothing more than to escape it. But how can she justify leaving a husband who isn’t violent, doesn’t drink and doesn’t sleep around, a man who is a good father? Maybe it’s just a matter of expectations and lowering the bar. But how low can the bar go before self-loathing takes the upper hand, before you start to suffocate, before you’re dying?
Linn has always been the pretty girl. Now she’s discovering that she no longer turns men’s heads on the street. If her power of attraction is gone, who is she supposed to be now?
Coincidence weaves the tales of Vigdis and Linn into one another. By necessity, both end up in places quite different to where they started.
