Description

I think the world should read it — LISA TADDEO, AUTHOR OF THREE WOMEN

A Guardian Book of the Year

After the unexpected death of her partner, Carolina Setterwall found herself bereft and rudderless at thirty-six, faced with the seemingly impossible task of raising her son alone.

In this remarkable Swedish memoir about grief and guilt, memory and intimacy, she explores the nature of bereavement itself – the difficulty of learning to live with the ones we love, and the trials of living without them.

The most compelling book I’ve read in years — The Times

It’s impossible not to draw comparisons with Karl Ove Knausgaard. I absolutely loved it — Evening Standard

Every spare, controlled sentence has the ring of truth. Gripping — Daily Mail
