Andrev Walden: Bloody Awful in Different Ways, Gebunden

Klappentext

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE AUGUST PRIZE 2023Once I had seven fathers in seven years. This is the story of those years. Christmas, 1983. In the woods outside Norrköping, a house is shaken by a violent argument - and in the aftermath, seven-year-old Andrev's mother lets him in on a secret. The secret: his father is, in fact, not his father. The real one has shoulder length hair and lives in a land far, far away. It's the best thing Andrev has ever heard. He feels like he's the boy in a book, a book about a boy whose father is the king of a magical land, with genies who can take him there. But there will be no spirits in Andrev's story. Only new fathers, who are not his. This is a novel about growing up in the chaos of social change; about mothers who mutter about 'bloody men' while they smoke under the hood of the cooker; about how love begins and ends; and above all, about men. Because after all, you learn an awful lot about this strange species when you have seven fathers in seven years. 'Pure joyous storytelling on every page ... A little treasure of a book' Fredrick Backman'Outstanding literature. Shamelessly entertaining' Sydsvenskan
