![]() ![]() ![]() (…) Strandberg portrays his young characters credibly, and with small remarks he makes the world end’s atmosphere alive” ”Mats Strandberg’s novel is an intensive read. ![]() It is completely believable in the way it tells the story of these young people and their families, and of how they deal with their fears and try to live their final days with dignity and meaning.” ![]() A YA novel that works just as well for adult readers.” ”As always, Mats Strandberg has a perfect pitch for young people’s talk and behaviours. “Deserves to be this fall’s most read and discussed book.” He manages to keep this pre-apocalyptic story together without being either too misty-eyed or too didactic.” I think he has prepared and worked with this book extra carefully. “All of these big issues are tackled with ease, and very convincingly, by Strandberg. Messy, flawed, but utterly brilliant in its humanity.” Set in Sweden, the novel offers glimpses of turmoil abroad through pointed sociopolitical commentary and oblique observations on race. “A sprawling, at times meandering tale, bestselling author Strandberg’s latest moves a day at a time, an uneasy crawl toward the inevitable. “Scandinavian noir meets YA in a jam-packed novel that’s part whodunit, part romance, part end-of-the-world narrative.” “A stellar work of fiction that will cling to readers’ minds and take hold of their hearts.” ![]()
