Nakrivik to the House

— How far are you going? — To Lillehammer. — Why are you going there? — I plan to move there. — Some people are lucky! By the way, getting to Lillehammer is as easy as pie — it’s the final destination. You can't mistake it, so no one will be scared or angry. I'm going there too. I used to live there. And Ronald lives there too. — In that case, we're on the same route! I think we’ll have a great time. — We'll see.   Erke meets Britta on the train heading to Lillehammer. The girl is traveling alone for the first time, and she has a lot to share: about how fast she can run in her “Cherrruks” boots, about the huge bay window she’s named after, about Ronald in a Superman costume, about her mom who went to New York to “keep a cool head.”  The book consists solely of dialogue between a child and an adult. Erke and Britta talk about first crushes, friends, and parents. Gradually, the main storyline unfolds — we begin to understand what happened in the girl's family, why she is traveling alone and where she is going. A chance conversation between two strangers turns into an epic story of hope.
