Everyone in the world walks around thinking they know the truth about themselves, their neighbors; they think they understand each other. But you have no idea. There is no limit to what we don’t know.
This is a wonderful book with a dark and brooding story, richly drawn characters, and a Swedish setting that is incredibly realistic. While it's essentially a crime novel, it is so much more and brings up questions about justice, community responsibility, and the damage we inflict on those around us both intentionally and accidentally. Reminiscent of Tana French's The Searcher, I highly recommend this one.
