Hollys Hav

Description

Hollys Hav er en roman om ydre og indre forandringer, om den første forelskelse, om venskaber, identitet, ensomhed, og om hvad det vil sige at være en familie. Da Hollys mor fortæller, at hun er gravid med en anden mand, og at Hollys far flytter, bliver der vendt op og ned på Hollys tilværelse. Hollys far er ikke hendes biologiske far, og Holly bliver i tvivl, om han så stadig er hendes far, når han ikke bor sammen med dem mere. På trods af et nyt akvarium og en spirende forelskelse bliver 13-årige Holly mere og mere forvirret og trist. Citat fra bogen: Findes der grader af farhed, ligesom der findes grader af blødhed eller rød? Rød, rødere, rødest. Far, mere far, mest far. Hører far og jeg kun sammen, fordi mor elsker os begge to? Og hvis mor ikke længere elsker en af os, hører vi så ikke sammen mere? Pressen skriver: »Det er en fin lille bog, som uden hverken at være svær eller kompliceret, ret præcist giver et billede af, hvor vanskeligt det er at skulle navigere for en ung i det moderne familieliv. Holly ramte mig i hjertet, og så er bogen smukt skrevet. Fin, drømmende forside, som passer perfekt til bogens tone.« - Elisabeth Bennetsen, Lektør »Hollys hav giver et godt billede af, hvad der gør skilsmissen farlig for barnet. Det er en god bog for dem der har oplevet skilsmisse – og for deres forældre.« - Birte Strandby, Bogvægten »Lone Elmsted Bilds korte, lavmælte og varme roman Hollys hav beskæftiger sig med et nyere emne: donorbørn. På trods af sin liden størrelse, så står der meget mellem linjerne. Grebet er filosofisk og lidt nøgtern, hvilket er med til at understrege Hollys personlighed. Romanen er let læst, men der er meget at tale om.« - Christina Wung-Sung, Bausager Books »Ofte forstår Høst & Søn at antage bøger, som gør det ekstra, og det gælder også denne gang. Hold da op, hvor væltede Hollys hav mig bagover! [...] Lone Elmstedt Bild har virkelig skrevet en smuk roman. Hollys Hav er en enkel historie, men rummer en utrolig dybde og sårbarhed, som kommer tydeligt til udtryk gennem sproget, stemning og spot-on-beskrivelser, hvor man nemt kan relatere til hovedpersonen og de mange følelser, der hvirvler rundt i kroppen. [...] Det er en smuk og rørende roman, som i den grad bidrager til litteraturen.« 9/10 - Bookeater
