The seismic events following her sixteenth birthday return with haunting vividness, exposing a story both utterly familiar and desperately strange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was the year she first got drunk, the year she first had sex with a boy. She was watched like a hawk by an anxious mother and a silent, distant father. It was a year of typical teenage fixation and typical teenage frivolity, and of all the usual parental fretting. Until something else took hold, and her family made an unspoken decision and a terrible sacrifice. Only now, decades later, can these events come close to being comprehended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eRepetition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, award-winning novelist Vigdis Hjorth explores through fiction the parts of childhood that chime through the decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ICA Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57661427810688,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/4390\/6109\/files\/41jYF7EKUHL.jpg?v=1774018004","url":"https:\/\/shop.ica.art\/products\/vigdis-hjorth-repetition","provider":"ICA Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
