The Dandelion Song
Hagerup, Hilde: Løvetannsang
In her third book, Hilde Hagerup once again returns to the subject of jealousy between sisters and strained relations with girlfriends. The protagonist is Gerd, the younger of two sisters and the black sheep of the family. When a new girl comes to live nearby, Gerd feels that her relationship with her friend Kajsa is threatened. The two compete for the new girl's friendship in a tussle that hardly brings out the best in them.
Løvetannsang is a heart-rending and compulsively readable story of friendship, vulnerability and breaches of faith - and of the need to know oneself.
Praise for Løvetannsang:
" Dandelion Song is a real find, nothing less. From beginning to end it is a superbly told, multilayered story for young readers."
