Linni Ingemundsen

Meet Malin, a fifteen-year-old who sees the world differently. Malin knows she couldn't change much about her life, even if she got to play God. Her dad would still yell all the time - especially as Malin is still friends with Hanna, the girl she met shoplifting. Her mum would still say a glass of wine is good for her heart - and Mum needs it, with Malin's brother, Sigve, getting into trouble all the time. And Malin would still be Malin. Because she can't be anybody else. In a voice bursting with immediacy and truth, Malin shares the absurdities of growing up and fitting in as her family struggles with the buried pain of mistakes made and secrets kept. Profound, compassionate and as funny as it is dark, Malin's story is an offbeat examination and celebration of the brutal, bizarre and beautiful unpredictability of being human
