February 2024 - Memoirs of Stockholm Sven

THE MEMOIRS OF STOCKHOLM SVEN: Nathaniel Ian Miller: 9781529359916:  Amazon.com: Books
“Briskly entertaining . . . I was reminded more than once of Annie Proulx’s The Shipping News . . . combines a distinctive northerly setting with a cast of likable eccentrics . . . Rather than any creed or belief system, it is Sven’s various friendships, intense but understated, that sustain him and give his life an order and purpose.” - Ian McGuire, New York Times Book Review
