Description
A mother. A son. A diagnosis. A socio-political experiment.Entrance is about how a mother's ability to love is called into question when she sees her child through the eyes of others – the doctor, the casual passer-by, the legal system – and about how to love a child that all others expect to be taken away before he is even born.
Praise: "Poignant on the subject of being the mother to a child who will never be able to fend for himself. And above all, original on what it means to be human."5/6 stars, Adresseavisen
"In concise, cogent language, we come into close contact with the mother's experiences and emotions, and we take it all in: endless joy for the child, the deep sorrow and despair, the anxiety and shame – a whole gamut captured in a mini-novel that has no space for superficial sentimentality, only deep humanity."5/6 stars,
