‘Brightly Shining’ Published in the Czech Republic

Brightly Shining, Ingvild H. Rishøi’s bestselling novel, has been published in the Czech Republic.

Brightly Shining is a tale about a father who does his best but not enough, about a sister who tries to fill his shoes, and a daughter who never stops hoping. It is about the reality of addiction but also the power of dreams and believing in the kindness of strangers. With an unfaltering loyalty to the child’s perspective, Norwegian cult writer Ingvild H. Rishøi gives us the world through the eyes of her unforgettable young protagonist Ronja: naïve yet pragmatic, hopeful yet dark.

The Czech edition of Brightly Shining was published by Dobrovský on October 8th, 2025.
