Author's name: Lisa Radsindar Publisher: Takween Publications Year of publication: 2025 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: Through a contemplative reflection, simple yet effective, on the meanings of love, affection, care, and closeness to death, Lisa Radsindar takes us in her first novel, which documents the most precise details in the autumn of an elderly man's life, with all that this entails for a soul shackled by the weakness of his failing body, to tell us about what extends inside us between what we say and what we do not say to our loved ones and the closest beings to us; that hidden from thoughts and obsessions, which finds no way to express or confide; that concealed from feelings that flood us with love, fear, anger, and pain, which we sometimes do not allow ourselves to show and sometimes cannot release. The story of "Bo" as he narrates it himself, addressing "Federica," his lifelong companion; between what he experiences in his nineties summer and what he recalls through his memories and dreams, will captivate your heart because it is "a delicate, touching, and thought-provoking story that will enter your heart directly," according to the explanation that awarded it the Book of the Year prize in Sweden, and because it is "a novel that can touch any heart," as described by The Guardian newspaper.
