The One Needful Thing is among the best novels of the year!

“A painful and witty portrait of a family at their breaking-point, after years of caring for a demanding autistic boy. The frank, funny prose, warmth and potpourri of contradicting emotions bubbling under the surface, makes the novel a moving light read about being exhausted” says Maya Troberg Djuve in Dagbladet.

This much praised novel is also nominated to the P2 Audience Novel Award and The Young Readers Critic’s Prize.
The winner of both prizes will be selected in 2021.
