Quotes from the Book

About the book

Brightly Shining is a 'heartbreaking, funny and philosophical tale about the reality of addiction, the power of dreams and the kindness of strangers'. Christmas is around the corner, and Ronja's father is out of work again, but it seems that their luck has turned when she gets him a job selling Christmas trees. But the local pub has a stronger pull on him than his family's wellbeing, and in order to keep social services at bay, Ronja and her sister are forced to fend for themselves. If he won't sell Christmas trees, they will do it for him.
