Brynjulf Jung Tjønn

Tomorrow We Will Sit In The Sun

I morgen skal vi sitte i solen

For ages 11–16 years.

This short story is about 11 year-old Oscar and his family – about his relationships with his father and grandfather – but first and foremost Oscar’s relationship with his mother. A mother who can’t be like normal mothers. A mother who can’t really deal with her son, a mother who struggles, a mother who hits. A mother who fills her son with fear, with shame and with sadness.

A poetic, powerful and different kind of children’s book.
