A curb to the house

— How far are you going? — To Lillehammer. — Why do you need to go there? — I’m planning on moving there. — Some people are so lucky! By the way, getting to Lillehammer is easy — it’s the final stop. You can’t get confused, which means no one will get scared or angry. I’m going there too. I used to live there. And that’s where Ronald lives. — In that case, we’re on the same route! I think we’ll have a great time. — We’ll see. Erke meets Britta on the train to Lillehammer. The girl is traveling alone for the first time, and she has a lot to tell: about running fast in Cherrocks boots, about the huge bay window she was named after, about Ronald in a Superman costume, about her mother who went to New York to “keep a cool head”. The book contains only dialogue between the child and the adult. Erke and Britta talk about first loves, friends, parents. Gradually, the main plot line emerges - we begin to understand what happened in the girl's family, why she is traveling alone and where. A casual conversation between two strangers turns into a grand story about hope.
