Sonata for Miriam
Olsson's first novel, "Astrid & Veronika," introduced readers to the author's extraordinary understanding of human relationships. With her second work, she once again charts that terrain in a haunting tale of loss, love, and human connection.

Description
'A skilfully balanced book, a work of considerable literary merit and musical integrity' - The Australian
Rich and satisfying, Sonata for Miriam will stay with the reader long after they have put it down.
A middle-aged man living on Auckland's Waiheke Island recalls vividly the sudden death of his daughter Miriam. Grief silenced Adam at the time, but now he decides to break the silence and explore the secrets of the past.
The search becomes a tribute to his daughter, and takes Adam from New Zealand to Poland. There he finds the truth about his past, but now he must live with it. On an island off the rocky coast of Sweden, he re-connects with the love of his life.
Sonata for Miriam is a heartbreaking tale of a man's search for his past, about the exposure of secrets that have been hidden for too long, and about the importance of talking about the most vital and the most painful in life. But more than anything, it is a novel about love.
