The Living and the Dead: a Novel About a Crime

by Christoffer Carlsson

Hogarth/ PRH


   This is not an easy book - so much sorrow, fear and guilt - but it is a great story. If you've ever lived in a small city or town, this will resonate. And you will hope for the best for everyone in it, well almost everyone. Carlsson depicts the struggles of  the teenagers, and the claustrophobia of their natural world. It's well worth the 400+ pages.
