I had no idea Henning Mankell wrote this series of young adult novels and I enjoy this and found it quietly moving. Joel and his father live in a small village in rural Sweden in what I think is the 1950s (I can't recall if this is said). The father is a sailor, now wokring as a lumberjack and Joel's mother has left and Joel and Samuel are trying to make some kind of normal home life for themselves. I loved Joel's voice and his imagination and his questions to his father about what their life in the village means. I'm really looking forward to the next books. Joel, que vive con su padre en un pueblo perdido del norte de Suecia, sueña con inmensos océanos y lejanos países para encontrar, durante los duros y fríos inviernos, experiencias que lo inicien en la vida y lo fortalezcan para afrontar su propio destino. Aunque son muchas las preguntas que Joel se hace, son pocas las respuestas que obtiene: en la soledad, la única arma es la imaginación. Por eso su sueño más importante es ése en el que, por las noches, busca a un perro que va camino de una estrella. I love Henning Mankell's writing, and his ability to craft characters and situations that draw you into a story. This one's a bit different from many of the books of his that I've read, in that it is about a twelve year old boy in northern Sweden, and doesn't involve murder or detective-work. Instead, it is a examination of life and connections, father-son, friends, the past, and is a gently told story of Joel's life, as he comes to terms with some various aspects of his world. I noticed somewhere that this is listed as book #! in a series bearing Joel's name, so I expect there may be more coming. While I probably won't seek them out, I may read if they come my way. I will, however, continue to follow Mankell's writing as he leaves Wallander behind. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
