Fredrik Backman recommends
The Details (2023)
Ia Genberg
"THE DETAILS is about relationships, about love, about parents and children... about all of it. The little observations about being young, and about growing up, and about getting lost by accident, and getting lost on purpose, searching for yourself in everyone else - damn it, I've underlined half of the book. I wish I could write like this."
The Burning (2023)
Jens Liljestrand
"Clever and engaging. Liljestrand succeeds in being both relevant and entertaining."
Stolen (2023)
Ann-Helén Laestadius
"Stolen is an extraordinary novel. A coming-of-age-story you'll get lost in, about youth and heritage and the never-ending struggle to be allowed to exist. Although set in the coldest and most northern part of Scandinavia, I'm convinced it's a universal story to be loved everywhere in the world."
