Viac o knihe What A Time To Be Alive (Jenny Mustard)
'Playful and witty, What A Time To Be Alive is a charming meditation on coming-of-age, privilege, and grief' Cecile Pin, author of Wandering Souls'Jenny Mustard writes with honesty and wit about the strange, mundane, and wondrous aspects of youth'Aysegul Savas, author of The Anthropologists'
A beautifully plangent coming-of-age novel... will go straight to your heart'Lucy Caldwell, author of These Days'A timeless writer... reminiscent of the power and grace of writers like Rachel Cusk and Raven Leilani'Molly Aitken, author of Bright I BurnSome people move to the big city hoping to find themselves - Sickan Hermansson isn't leaving it up to chance. Twenty-one, friendless, without money but not without hope, Sickan's arrival at Stockholm University represents a new start. Her lonely childhood in a small southern town has left her utterly unprepared for intimacy: for friends, for sex, for love even.
But Sickan is determined to build a new version of herself from the ground up, to make up for lost time. To simply be normal.Just as Sickan seems to be finding her first ever friends, in whose company she finally feels safe, she meets Abbe: beautiful, charming - and by some miracle he wants her too. Unlike Sickan, Abbe seems completely at ease in his own skin.A solid foundation then, on which to build a relationship? Maybe?
What A Time To Be Alive is a story of class, sex, loneliness, and the trials of young womanhood. But above all, it's a story of firsts: the first party you're actually invited to, the first moment you fall in love, the first time you betray a friend. The first time you ask yourself, how much of myself am I willing to sacrifice, to finally fit in?
