Miraleste Library Book Club selection for June 2009. 2006, The New York Press. Translated from the Swedish by Laurie Thompson. Set in 1914 in Sweden.
Mankell is the writer of Kurt Wallander mysteries (I have not read any of them yet) for a total of 37 novels and many plays.
I do not recommend this book - it is very dark, without being at all uplifting. ("...a dark immovable story that literally measures the depths where Fascist personalities grow." - from Expressen, Sweden).
