Brightly Shining

A Service 95/Dua Lipa Book Club Pick

Beautifully told with humour and tenderness, this is a Christmas tale of sisterhood, financial hardship and
the power of dreams.

Christmas is just around the corner, and Ronja and Melissa's father is out of work. When ten-year-old Ronja hears about a job selling Christmas trees, she thinks it might be the stroke of luck they all need. Soon, the fridge fills with food and their father comes home smiling, covered in spruce needles. But the local pub has an irresistible pull and he quickly abandons his responsibilities.

Melissa decides to take his place at the Christmas tree stand, working before and after school, and bringing Ronja
with her. On rare breaks in the dark of a Norwegian December they dream of a brighter place of kindness and plenty - and find there are some people in the world who might help them.

Small in stature but with an outsize impact on the reader, Brightly Shining has all the markings of a magical
modern classic.
