Description
In this introspective and quietly powerful story set in 1950s Sweden, twelve-year-old Joel Gustafson survives a near-fatal accident and becomes convinced that fate has spared him for a reason. Driven by a mix of childish idealism and deep emotional yearning, Joel embarks on a mission to perform a heroic deed. As he wrestles with his dreams, his absent mother, and his father's stoic love, Joel begins to understand the complexities of adulthood and morality. Mankell delicately portrays the emotional landscape of a boy teetering on the edge of adolescence, blending subtle humor, melancholy, and moments of quiet triumph.
