Let's Hope for the Best

'Brutally candid. The most compelling book I've read in years' THE TIMES 'Quite simply one of the best bereavement memoirs I've read. It's impossible not to draw comparisons with Karl Ove Knausgaard, but there is a unique voice here, a style of disclosure all her own, incidentally beautifully translated. I absolutely loved it' EVENING STANDARD 'Every spare, controlled sentence has the ring of truth. Gripping' DAILY MAIL THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER One evening, Carolina said good night to her partner, Aksel. Things had been tough for both of them recently, especially with an eight-month-old son to raise. So when Aksel died unexpectedly in the night, Carolina's world was turned upside down. Let's Hope for the Best details the small moments of life before and after tragedy. It's a story about motherhood, family and the difficulties of loving someone who is distant, and then who is gone. Brave and unsparing, packed with emotion and humanity, it is about how the life we envisage for ourselves can be altered in an instant.
