Leena and her family move to violet house. “It seems to me that violet is such a mysterious colour”, she thinks.

Her first year living in the new house will be a difficult time, but also a beautiful time, full of secrets. She meets Birgit, her neighbor, who stutters when she feels blue or self conscious. But Leena gets along with her, until Birgit tells her a secret that will test their friendship.

“Lembcke gently slides her pen to write without any abruptness, but in a well balanced way indeed, this novel about growing up, about discovering your own identity, about embracing the fight between good and evil… A young adults’ novel  carefully made that will allow many teenagers to identify themselves with the main character, who is full of naturalness” (Canal Lector).
