With vibrant imagery and daring prose, Korneliussen writes unforgettably about finding yourself and growing into the person you were meant to be.

A work of daring invention about young life in Greenland, Korneliussen brilliantly weaves together the coming of age of five young people in the capital city, Nuuk.
Niviaq Korneliussen is a ground-breaking young writer hailed for creating " her] own genre" (Politiken, Denmark) in her witty and fearless debut Last Night in Nuuk.
