Ellen Fjestad

The eye of the spectator the luka trilogy - Book 1

Sammen skal vi holde himmelen (luka-Trilogien, bok 1)

A motorcycle accident takes place. Gard hits Luka. Gard, the drummer, has fiery blue eyes and carries a crumpled letter from a dead father in his jacket pocket. Luka, the street artist and environmentalist dressed in black, grew up on a farm with the smell of cow dung and a mother who barely cares. Their brutal collision is the start of a gut-wrenching and infinitely beautiful love story.
It is a dramatic tale that takes the reader’s breath away, a raw, fast-paced, tender and lyrical book that speaks to the heart.
