Description
A surprising and touching story of a man who finds himself on the brink of his own rebirth. Fredrik Welin lives on a small island that is completely surrounded by ice during the winter months. He feels so lost in his life that every morning he chisels a hole in the ice and plunges into the freezing water to remind himself that he is alive. Haunted by memories of an unfortunate mistake that brought him to this island and away from a successful career as a surgeon, he perceives life so lethargically that an anthill grows undisturbed in his living room. Then an unexpected visitor appears and turns his world upside down. A quirky, melancholic journey begins, showcasing Mankell at the height of his novelistic powers. This deeply human story of loss and redemption is a testament to the unpredictability of life, from which hope can emerge even in moments of personal tragedy.
