Summary:
"A novel about a family in crisis, as a proud patriarch encounters the harsh realities he has inflicted on his children"--
A grandfather who lives abroad returns home to Sweden to visit his adult children. The son is a failure. The daughter is having a baby with the wrong man. Only the grandfather is perfect-- at least, according to himself. Over the course of ten intense days relationships unfold and painful memories resurface. The grandfather is confronted by his past. The daughter is faced with an impossible choice. The son tries to write himself free. Per a longstanding family agreement, the grandfather has maintained his Swedish residency by coming to stay with his son every six months. Can this clause be renegotiated, or will it chain the family to its past forever? -- adapted from jacket
