Description

"Waffle Heart" (2005) is the debut of young Norwegian writer Maria Parr, whom critics unanimously call the new Astrid Lindgren. The book has already been published in Sweden, France, Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands, where it received the "Silver Griffin" award. In the span of one year in the life of two small inhabitants of the cove of Skjepki-Matilda—nine-year-old Trille, from whose perspective the story is told, and his neighbor and classmate Lena—an unimaginable number of events and adventures occur—funny, touching, dangerous… The idyllic life in a Norwegian farmstead is disrupted—though not destroyed—by dramatic circumstances. But friendship, of course, proves stronger!
