The Antarctica of love / by Sara Stridsberg ; translated from the Swedish by Deborah Bragan-Turner.
Antarctica of love /
The international star Sara Stridsberg returns with The Antarctica of Love, an unnamed woman's tale of her murder, her brief life, and the world that moves on after she left it. She was a neglected child, an unreliable mother, a sex worker, a drug user—like so many nameless victims of violent crime. But first she was a human being, a full, complicated person, and she insists that we know her fully as she tells her story from beyond the grave. We witness her short life, the harrowing murder that ended it, and her grief over the loved ones she has left behind. We see her parents struggle with guilt and loss. We watch her children grow up in adopted families and live imperfect lives. We feel her dreams, fears, and passions, even though we will never know her name. Translated from the Swedish.
