When the Cranes Fly South

"This moving novel will sweep you straight to Scandinavia. It’s the story of Bo, an increasingly frail 89-year-old man who lives alone with his dog in remote northern Sweden. His wife has been taken into a care home. He’s reliant on visits from care workers and from his son, Hans, who he loves dearly but has a strained relationship with. Like many men of his generation and situation, he’s not very good at expressing his emotions.”
