Hair Everywhere cover

'Hair Everywhere' is the story of an ordinary family and how they cope with curing the incurable disease: cancer. It is a tale which balances itself along the female line of grandmoher-mother-daughter, revealing their strengths and weaknesses in times of trouble. It is also a story about how roles within a family can change when things become unbalanced due to sickness or death, allowing some to grow and others to fade. Ultimately, this is a book about life; full of humour and absurdity as well as sadness, and set against the everyday background of incidents and casual meetings.

'Hair Everywhere' is the touchng story of one family and how they cope with curing the incurable disease: cancer.

Hair Everywhere is the story of one family and how they manage to cope when the mother is diagnosed with cancer. It is a delicate tale that balances itself between the generations, revealing their strengths and weaknesses in times of trouble. It is also a story about how roles within a family can change when things become challenging, due to sickness or death, allowing some to grow and others to fade. Ultimately, this is a book about life; full of humour and absurdity as well as sadness, and set against an everyday background where the ordinary takes on new significance and colour. Tea Tulic’s debut novel is a brave glance at the human condition.

"Neither imagination nor inspiration is what makes good literature; it is empathy, an eye for detail, rhythm (style) and, possibly, a trauma. All of these elements permeate Hair Everywhere, an elegant book which touches the mind and the heart." --Dasa Drndic, author, Trieste
