Plutselig høre noen åpne en dør ebok

Sara is four years old. Her mother is a student and is writing her dissertation. During the novel we are given an insight into their day-to-day life, into the young mother’s highly conscious and critical attitude to her own actions, her fear of clichés, her desire to be a good mother. But then everything comes to a stop.
