Beautifully told with humor and tenderness, a Norwegian Christmas tale of sisterhood, financial hardship, and far-off dreams, acclaimed by reviewers and beloved by readers across Europe, where it has been a major bestseller. Christmas is just around the corner, and Ronja and Melissa’s dreamer of a father is out of work again. When ten-year-old Ronja hears about a job at a Christmas tree stand near where the family lives in central Oslo, she thinks it might be the stroke of luck they all need. Soon, the fridge fills with food, and their father returns home with money in his pocket and a smile on his face. But one evening he disappears into the night under the pretense of buying Christmas gifts—and the daughters know he has gone to his favorite local pub, Stargate, and they come to terms with the fact that he may lose his wonderful new job. Melissa decides to take his place at the Christmas tree stand, working before and after school in the December afternoon dark, and brings along Ronja, who quickly charms all the middle-class customers. On rare breaks the sisters dream of a brighter place of kindness and plenty, and find help from some of those around them—but both understand that their family structure is a precarious one, and that they are going to need luck and strength to transcend their circumstances. Skillfully told, evoking the delight, misunderstandings, and innocence of a child’s voice, Brightly Shining is small in stature but with an outsize impact on the listener, and has all the markings of a magical modern classic.

The internationally acclaimed and nationally bestselling author of Brightly Shining returns with a trio of tender, powerful stories of courage and overcoming adversityIngvild Rishi is one of Scandinavia's most revered literary voices and winner of the Dobloug Prize from the Swedish Academy. Following the nationally bestselling novel Brightly Shining, she has returned with the highly acclaimed and award-winning collection Winter Stories. In these brilliantly rendered stories, Rishi paints three tender and indelible portraits of life on the fringes of society in contemporary Norway and the very human desire to take care of those closest to us, even at risk to ourselves. The first story, ';We Can't Help Everyone', is a heartfelt depiction of a young mother trying to teach her dreamy daughter about the realities of the world. The central story, ';The Right Thomas', explores both the beauty of a relationship that crosses class boundaries and the challenges of a father returning to society after incarceration while trying to protect his son. And in the final story, ';Siblings', Rishi brings the reader on a childish adventure that takes a precarious turn when an older sister leads her two younger siblings away to a place where she feels they will finally all be safe. Winter Stories is a masterful triptych from a major international writer renowned for her ability to say a great deal in few words. It is a poignant reminder of the power of hope, loyalty, and unexpected kindness during dark times.
