“You’re so bright” is a deep psychological novel—an exciting, many-layered narrative about the darkness of another person’s soul. About what we can’t see, even when the drama is unfolding right before our eyes. Jørgen and Vibeke live in a small seaside town. The neighbor’s house is empty; its previous owners have divorced, and the realtor brings there odd clients for viewings. When, at last, a family of their peers moves in behind a living hedge—an engaging father, a lively joker, and on top of that a doctor always ready to help—Jørgen and Vibeke can’t hide their joy. They quickly become good friends with the new neighbors. Soon the fathers of the families travel together to London for a football match. But there, what happens to Jørgen suddenly? Something inexplicable—about which it’s awkward to even ask. And it turns out to get worse: Vibeke begins to suspect Sosteinhar in double-dealing. Who is he really? What lies behind his bubbling energy and charming manners? Touré Renberg’s works have been translated into more than twenty languages, adapted for film, and awarded many times. Russian readers know him by the novel “Charlotte Isabelle Hansen.”
