The night before Christmas, Anna receives a troubling call from her dad. He has decided to spend the holiday alone, but won’t say why. Anna’s reaction alters from confusion to fear. What is he not telling her?

 

Early next morning, on ice-slick roads and with her youngest son Vilmer in the backseat, Anna heads to confront her father. The journey there becomes one through time and old memories. On the hunt for answers about what her dad is trying to hide, Anna must face her own childhood.

 

All is Bright is a tale about the people who knows us the best yet cost us the most. About the demanding times we all live in and the light we search for in each other.

 

“All is Bright is literature at its very best. With a curiosity rooted in the uncertain, Lunde explores the way life itself filters into our very closest relationships – and the way in which the relationship between child and parent encompasses so much more than simply unconditional love. Lunde’s multifaceted prose is liberating, and the way she allows the right path to be precisely as difficult as it often is, comforts me. I turn the final page and ponder that it isn’t easy to be human in this world, but damn, isn’t it beautiful when we refuse to let go and finally get through to one another.”
–Lisa Ridzén, No. 1 internationally bestselling author of When The Cranes Fly South
