- Agnete er 33 år og tilbragte det meste af sin barndom langt fra alfarvej i den lille by Mørke på Djursland. Allerede dengang var hun glad for børnebøger, og det lokale børnebibliotek havde svært ved at følge med efterspørgslen. Agnete læste alt fra krimier til science fiction, og blandt favoritterne var og er bøger af Astrid Lindgren og Cecil Bødker. Agnete fik udgivet sin første novelle som 18-årig, men lagde derefter forfatterdrømmen på hylden i flere år og kastede sig i stedet over journalistikken. Hun blev uddannet journalist i 2000 og har siden arbejdet som journalist og senest som redaktør og informationsmedarbejder i Økologisk Landsforening. Sideløbende har hun skrevet et par interviewbøger og i 2002 genoplivede hun den gamle forfatterdrøm med børnekrimien ”Alberte og det mystiske brev”

There are people in our world who have never experienced nightmares that come to life.
Post-Traumatic Stress has become a buzz-phrase in society, that makes it seem a fad rather than a disease or ailment. Only recently people outside of War experience were diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disease.
Unlike a broken bone or paralysis, PTSD is a psychological manifestation of tragic or traumatic experiences. The effects are felt by a sufferer in different ways.
There is little acknowledgment or treatment for deep trauma. Many sufferers end up self-medicating with alcohol and/or drugs.
It is easy to judge others when we cannot see the deep poisonous pains that handicap their lives.
This novel is about a remarkable woman; Ella Nygaard of Denmark. For twenty years she has done the best she can to keep some kind of life balance and provide a life for her adolescent son.
The only family she knows or claims is her son. Every day is a struggle to keep enough balance to keep her son and a way to provide for them.
At the age of seven Ella experienced a grisly nightmare which claimed the life of her mother. Her father went to prison. She cannot remember any of it.
Ella experiences physical ailments called tremors when she dreams. Some of the memories start to come through and her body cannot take it. But science will not brand what she experiences as a disability. Their lives remain cataclysmic.
Her only friends are also broken. Sober alcoholics who care about Ella and her son Alex.
A series of events takes Ella back to the physical place where the nightmare began.
Will this be the end of it all? Will Ella and Alex be able to stay together?
Can there be any possible redemption or resolution?
I will recommend this haunting novel for our library collection, and to other readers I know.… (plus d'informations)

I like the way the books are tied together. The balance here could've been better, the time spent on the historical plotline doesn't pay off in the present.
Cuando Sándor, un joven gitano de Hungría, es expulsado de la universidad por haber husmeado en páginas ilegales de tráfico de armas en Internet, sabe que su hermano Tamás se esconde detrás de todo esto, y emprende un viaje a Copenhague en su búsqueda. Allí, la enfermera de la Cruz Roja, Nina Borg, no pasa por su mejor momento personal, pues tiene una relación muy tensa con su hija adolescente y su marido. Pero, cuando una epidemia radiactiva en un insallubre campamento de refugiados gitanos amenaza con llegar a ser una catástrofe aún mayor, inicia una arriesgada investigación que tendrá consecuencias inesperadas en su vida.… (plus d'informations)

When Nina Borg receives a frantic call for help from her estranged friend, Karin, she can’t help but respond. When she follows her friends instructions and picks up a cumbersome suitcase at a train station, all is well until her curiosity gets the best of her. Inside the bag is a naked three-year-old boy who doesn’t speak Nina’s language. Who is this child? Why is he naked? And why is he in a suitcase?
The story progresses with Sagita desperately looking for her little boy who has gone missing, but no one is listening to her; she has a past. When Sagita and Nina find themselves in the same place at the same time, all hell breaks loose and the truths of past and present collide with an unexpected twist.
This was a great read and superbly translated. It does take a bit of concentration to keep the names and places straight (because they are foreign), but other than that, it reads at a lightening pace.… (plus d'informations)
