Descriere

Description Sick since even before Jette can remember, it's no surprise , really, that Emil, her brother , has died. But the feelings that losing him evoke in her are something else entirely. For her, i t feels as though a dark raincloud has descended over her family. And then there's the ridiculous fact t hat nobody seems to know what happens after you die , and yet adults can talk as if they do .
