The novel gives voice to Pastor Gregorius during what could be his last summer: married to a much younger woman, he is a resentful and vulnerable character, absorbed by his mortality and his precarious happiness. It explores loneliness, longing and love, the desires that unite and the fears that separate. It responds to the classic «Doctor Glas».

A read for those interested in Swedish literary fiction and rewritings of classics such as «Doctor Glas».
