Bitevní pole – Colin Jérome (2019)

Puberty... through the eyes of parents. The trouble with children is that they grow up. One beautiful day, they start slamming doors without warning, bringing home bad grades, and expressing themselves mostly through grunts. And above all, they stop considering their parents as gods. And that's not easy to accept. Science claims they are innocent in this. Those lazy and irritable creatures, incapable of picking their socks off the floor, are made that way by the fact that their cognitive abilities are still developing. But still — nothing worse than a teenager of the digital age has yet been created by God. A married couple, whose fifteen-year-old son's behavior has brought them to the brink of a nervous breakdown, asks themselves: What did we do wrong? Probably nothing. However, the war has already begun. And they were not prepared for it. The school won't lend a helping hand, the father is losing it, the mother desperately tries to extinguish the fire that has arisen... A novel about the love between parents and children in a family where emotions are as heightened as on a battlefield.
