Ida is a forty-year-old architect, single and struggling with the feeling of panic as she realises her chances of motherhood are rapidly falling away from her. She' s navigating Tinder and contemplating freezing her eggs - but tries to put a pause on these worries as she heads out to the family country cabin for her mother' s 65th birthday. That is, until some supposedly wonderful news from her sister sets old tensions simmering, building to an almighty clash between Ida and her sister, her mother, and her entire family. Exhilarating, funny, and unexpectedly devastating, Grown Ups gets up close and personal with a dysfunctional modern family.
' Grown Ups is a beautiful, slim but powerful look at the complicated process of deciding whether to start a family, while navigating your existing family. The portrayal of the sister relationship is one of the best and most resonant I' ve ever read' - Nell Frizzell, author of THE PANIC YEARS ' GROWN UPS take a sharp, cool, and funny look at ageing, fertility, and family in all its forms. A perfect novel for a time when we' re all wondering who we are and what comes next. ' - Jean Hannah Edelstein, author of THIS REALLY ISN' T ABOUT YOU ' Sharp, funny, very poignant, and full of smart observations about family dynamics' - MIRANDA WARD, author of ADRIFT ' A quiet, almost thrillerish, family story that Aubert lightly and elegantly steers towards disaster' - Johanna Frid, Dagens Nyheter, Sweden
Marie Aubert made her debut in 2016 with the short story collection Can I Come Home With You, which sold more than 10,000 copies in Norway. Grown Ups is her first novel, and won the Young People' s Critics' Prize (Norway' s equivalent to the Goncourt des lyceens) and was nominated for the Booksellers' Prize. Rights have already been sold in ten other countries.
