Bo has less and less time. After his wife went to a facility for people with dementia, time becomes one of the few things he has left. His monotonous existence is only diversified by visits from caregivers who take care of him at home. His body has been betraying him for some time, and soon Bo's hands will become too weak to open the precious jar in which he keeps his Frederika's scarf, still carrying her scent. However, the man is not alone, he still has his beloved Sixten to accompany him although it is not known for how long, because his son is increasingly insisting on taking his dog away. This is the same son with whom Bo would like to repair relations before his time runs out. However, the threat of losing Sixten triggers a whirlwind of events and emotions that make Bo look back on his life and fatherhood and wonder if he has expressed his feelings in the right way.
Lisa Ridzn has perfected the art of portraying human fate. Retrospectives on love and friendship evoke many reflections. A beautiful and exquisitely written novel. A wonderful novel about a man and his dog and about everything that happens when he is slowly denied the right to live on his own terms. A stunning novel about aging, respect, the transience of life and the inner feeling of being the same, even when the body does not want to cooperate at least until everything inside also falls apart. Most of us, the lucky ones, will one day have to say goodbye to someone for good and that's terrible but this book can help ease that pain a little.
