(Du och jag, Marie Curie)

A book about growing up as a young woman, about lesbian love and about trying to find out who you are.

Jenny, 15 years old, who loves football and admires Marie Curie, falls in love with the beautiful Filippa. Jenny lives with two loving and politically correct parents who do not understand anything about Jenny’s life and dreams. As often as she can, she runs away from her parents’ loving care to the football training, to her “extra brother” Mattias or to her diary where she writes letters to Marie Curie.

Her relationship with Filippa falls apart, Mattias lets her down and Jenny decides to become an outlaw. But as the summer vacation from school gets closer, Jenny is beginning to find a new context with new friends where she can be just the way she is.
