Finalist for the Nota Bene Prize 2026
A profoundly moving and life-affirming novel about the multitude of stories contained within a life, and the big things for which we have no words.

Bo lives a quiet existence in his small rural village in the north of Sweden. He is elderly and his days are punctuated by visits from his care team and his son. Fortunately, he still has his rich memories, phone calls with his best friend, and his beloved dog Sixten for company. Only now his son is insisting the dog must be taken away. The very same son that Bo is wanting to mend his relationship with before his time is up.
The threat of losing Sixten stirs up a whirlwind of emotions and makes Bo determined to resist and find his voice...
