The Blue Room

A novel about a mother-daughter relationship that will send a chill down your spine.

Johanne is a young woman in her twenties who lives with her mother.

When she falls in love with Ivar, she finally feels ready to leave home.

The couple plan a trip to America. But the morning of her departure, Johanne wakes up to find the door locked.

Can she overcome her fears? Will she shout for help? Will she climb out of her fourth floor window? ------ Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'Everyone who has read Fifty Shades of Grey should read this book.

Why? The Blue Room holds up a mirror to a part of the female psyche that yearns for submission.

The story shows how erotic fantasies are formed by the relationship with our parents.

It then delves further to analyse the struggle of women to separate from their mothers - a struggle that is rarely addressed in either literature or society.' Meike Ziervogel, Publisher
