Recenzii

This book! Swedish, confessional, shockingly honest about desire, love, loss. I've read it twice now and can't stop thinking about Carolina. Utterly compulsive
Painfully clear-sighted, unsentimental . . . It's about grief in all its raw messiness
Brutally candid. The book's power lies in Setterwall's lacerating honesty. It's the most compelling book I've read in years
Quite simply one of the best bereavement memoirs I've read. It's impossible not to draw comparisons with Karl Ove Knausgaard, but there is a unique voice here, a style of disclosure all her own, incidentally beautifully translated. It's an emotional battering ram, I thought, and I absolutely loved it
Heart-wrenching and unsettling
Moving, tender . . . Depicts the obsessive interiority of grief
The kind of book that you'll never forget. It gets under your skin. It moves into the heart. The story is so vulnerable and direct that one cannot avoid caring for the people it is about, and to love them . . . I have never read a book that, so beautifully, puts into words how difficult it is to live without - but also to live with - the one you love. One of the best, most touching and most relevant books I've ever read
An electrifying read. A book that forces itself upon you, impossible to resist and difficult to pause
A rich, honest, and poignant portrayal of the many dimensions of grief
One of the best books I've ever read . . . You're drawn into her raw grief, anger, guilt, bitterness, fear and loss - all of it, without any filter . . . Real and alive
Breathtaking . . . Astoundingly well told
A magnificent reading experience
Honest and unvarnished . . . Setterwall writes about the many nuances of grief, but also about love, family life and expectations of life before and after tragedy
