April 2026:
ALL MY LOVE BY AGNES LIDBECK, TRANSLATED FROM SWEDISH BY NICHOLA SMALLEY
Petra and Johannes seem made for one another. A lawyer and a doctor. Well brought up, ambitious. Their friends Julia and Axel are different – from them, and from each other. Julia fights for her convictions. Axel manoeuvres his way to political power. Desire moves like an undertow between them all, dangerous and destabilising. Inconvenient truths are buried, but can only stay that way for so long. Meanwhile, the country around them changes. Laws tighten. Freedoms are curtailed. People begin to disappear. The personal and the political collide. It is easier, at first, to look away than to let the facts in. Until they arrive at the door.
August 2026:
BEFORE I FORGET BY ANNE PAULY, TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH BY DINA LEIFER
