It's lonely behind the hedges in Husum. The nuclear family is a closed circle, impossible to break through. If your friends were a horse, you would sell it because you didn't have time to ride it. That's what the main character in Stine Pilgaard's Ten Wild Horses says. - But it is anything but lonely on the villa roads in Pilgaard's new novel. Here people meet for children's drinks on the playground, and neighbors come unannounced with the sump pump when the basement is flooded. But how close should you really stand to people you don't know? Is it normal that you hug the other children's parents at school, and how many adult friends can you take home from the sports club? In Stine Pilgaard's new novel, the main character struggles to stay in the middle, while she automatically moves out to the wings. But what if it's there on the wings that the new friendships are? Meet author Stine Pilgaard when she comes to Tingbjerg Library and Cultural Center for a conversation about adult friendships, communities on the playground, volunteering in sports clubs and about being a newcomer in Husum. Stine Pilgaard will be in conversation with the library's literature mediator, Astrid Uldall. Stine Pilgaard (b. 1984, Aarhus) debuted in 2012 with the novel, My Mother Says.
