Fredrik Welin lives in retirement on a Baltic island, at sixty-six years old with a single routine: bathing every day in a hole in the ice. The arrival of Harriet, the youthful love he abandoned forty years earlier, breaks his solitude. She is ill and asks him to fulfill an old promise: to show her a lake in the forest.
First installment of the Fredrik Welin series. Work translated from Swedish, originally published as Italienska skor in 2006.
For readers of Nordic literature who appreciate an intimate drama with solitary characters and second chances.
