A family road trip through Norway is cut short. Or was this vacation doomed to fail from the outset? Teenager Lea must eat exactly measured portions, at exact hours, whereupon she follows a strict exercising regime. When their caravan is destroyed in an accident and all structure suddenly disappears, Lea’s fight with her illness, as well as the conflict between family members worsens progressively. 

Silent Lightning is a courageous debut novel about the suffocating dynamics of a family and on the question of how you can help someone who compulsively destroys herself.
