After the Fire by Henning Mankell, October 1, 2017, Vintage
Genre: mystery
... an aging man's quiet, solitary life on an isolated island off the coast of Sweden is turned upside down when his house catches fire.
My comments:
| A very likeable elderly man, a retired surgeon, lives on a small island in Sweden, battling the elements and fitting easily into the island lifestyle he probably grew up in. The book covers a mystery solved, and new relationships to ease him into old age. |
