Overview Et lys i desember

Finally a new Christmas book from the Norwegian queen of feelgood!

Christmas is drawing near, but the idyll and calm Kirsti longs for during the holiday season seems completely out of reach this year. This autumn the complications in Kirsti’s life is piling higher than gifts under the tree. Her teenage daughter Iben is having mood swings, Kirsti's mother and sister has decided to spend Christmas on the Canary Islands without them, and her new boyfriend Tobias is spending all his time as a climate activist.

Then, Kirsti gets a phone from her doctor. Breast cancer. Suddenly, she must face the possibility of Iben having to grow up without her. Which means she also has to face the fact that Iben has a father, who doesn't know about his daughter. As Kirsti grapples with everything, her neighbourhood rallies around her while Tobias practically evaporates from her life, blaming his absence on a phobia of diseases.

Is this Kirsti’s last Christmas? Or can a Christmas miracle happen?
