Henning Mankell
Large Paperback
From the prizewinning master of atmosphere (Boston Globe)comes the surprising and affecting story of a man well past middle age who suddenly finds himself on the threshold of renewal.
Living on a tiny island entirely surrounded by ice during the long winter months, Fredrik Welin is so lost to the world that he cuts a hole in the ice every morning and lowers himself into the freezing water to remind himself that he is alive. Haunted by memories of the terrible mistake that drove him to this island and away from a successful career as a surgeon, he lives in a stasis so complete an anthill grows undisturbed in his living room.
When an unexpected visitor alters his life completely, thus begins an eccentric, elegiac journeyone that shows Mankell at the very height of his powers as a novelist.
A deeply human tale of loss and redemption,Italian Shoesis a testament to the unpredien in the face of tragedy.
