SHOOTING STAR

STJÄRNFALL – SHOOTING STAR

By Louise Boije af Gennäs

Julia and Gabriel live a close knit life with their friends Eva and André. Their children have grown up like siblings and they have dinners together, celebrate holidays and are the godparents of each other’s kids.  Suddenly everything changes: Julia and André realize they have strong feelings for each other and are forced to ask themselves the question if they are willing to sacrifice everything for love. 

Julia seeks help from her older cousin Sophie, whom the readers got to know in Stars Without Vertigo Julia now has to decide if she is prepared to do the same thing as Sophie, who twenty five years earlier defied all the norms and conventions to live a life of her own accord. 

Louise Boije af Gennäs has once again written a striking novel centered on love. Is it always the romantic love that should have precedence in our lives? Is it always right to follow your heart – even when it means potentially destroying the lives of people you love?
