In the long run, it was impossible to hide the fact that Cecilia had one day decided to leave her children and her husband, to take off and never come back. Martin Berg is slowly falling into crisis. Decades ago, he was an aspiring writer who'd almost finished his novel, his girlfriend was the wildly intelligent and beautiful Cecilia Wickner, and his best friend was the up-and-coming artist Gustav Becker. But Martin's manuscript has long been languishing in a desk drawer, Gustav has stopped answering his calls, and Cecilia has been missing for years - ever since she vanished from his life, leaving him to raise their two young children alone. So who was Cecilia? Martin's eccentric wife, Gustav's enigmatic muse, an absent mother - a woman who was perhaps only true to herself. When Martin's daughter Rakel stumbles across a clue about what happened to her mother, she becomes determined to fill the gaps in her family's story. But she can't escape the simple question at the heart of it all: How can anyone leave someone they love?

Recensioner i media

'Meet Sweden's Sally Rooney . . . a love-triangle, arty chit-chat, and lots of snow and sex . . . Sandgren strikes a nice balance between comedy and coming of age . . . A lovely atmosphere to lose yourself in . . . Gorgeous and heightened and full of glittering, icy people' - The Times 'A wry bestseller that reads like the effortlessly chic European cousin of Fleishman is in Trouble . . . Sandgren has a sly eye for comedy . . . Part bildungsroman, part psychological mystery and part family saga . . . embraces the mess, misunderstandings and inscrutabilities that constitute peoples real people living real lives . . . A novel to savour' - Telegraph 'Utterly gripping... like the films of Richard Linklater transmuted to the page... a magnificent doorstop of a novel' - Guardian 'A witty, toothy, family saga... a confidently ambitious work that holds art, literature and philosophy close to its heart... an assured, bittersweet novel that, like youth, seems to have it all' - Financial Times 'A wide-ranging exploration of family and friends, art and ambition that more than lives up to the hype' - Marie-Claire, Best New Books of 2023
