My Brother
A literary noir of phenomenal power about the magnetic attraction of the wrong person, the brutality visited upon one human to another - and a rural community that stood by and did nothing.
My Brother by Karin Smirnoff follows Jana Kippo as she returns to Smalanger to see her twin brother, Bror, who is still living in the small family farmhouse in the remote north of Sweden.
Within this isolated community, secrets and lies have grown silently, undisturbed for years. Following the discovery of a young woman's body in the long grass behind the sawmill, the siblings, hooked by a childhood steeped in darkness, need to break free.
But the truth cannot be found in other people's stories. The question isβcan it be found anywhere?
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
My Brother by Karin Smirnoff is described as a captivating and intense read that is difficult to put down. It resonates well with fans of Scandi-noir dramas and is noted for its melodramatic power, comparable to works like Ferranteβs well-known saga. The book has gained attention as a media sensation and is highly recommended as a worthwhile read.
