Nio dagar, nio nätter

Rate this book
Kajsa Grytts första roman utspelar sig i Stockholm och New York. Alex har sitt hem bland Stockholms kriminella. Hans syster Lina är nynykter narkoman och krigar varje dag mot heroinets helvete.

En kväll på krogen möter Alex Ulrika. Hon lever ett ensamt karriärliv i reklamvärlden och förutom hennes son är brodern Richard, bohem och rockmusiker, den som står henne närmast.

Under nio dygn dras Ulrika och Alex in i ett sexuellt kraftfält, ett sug mot något härligt ansvarslöst, ofrånkomligt och slutgiltigt. De två syskonparen rör sig symbiotiskt i en destruktiv bana som måste brytas. Har någon av dem kraften att handla, blicken att se?

Nio dagar, nio nätter är en berättelse om ensamhet och klass, och ett kittlande ödesdrama.

This book is in Swedish, but yes, I'm reviewing it in English.

It's not very pretentious, which is one of its fortés, but it lacks in the dialogue, which feels strained and forced at best. The interchanging between the four characters is well executed, and I am a sucker for reading about characters roaming around Stockholm; it's well done.

Just like Grytt, I have also worked in the Swedish Social Services - actually I've changed Grytt's network password once, fancy that - and I recognise that "Alpen" and "Eken" are actually words from within the Social Services that refer to a registry system and a half-way house, respectively. Grytt has herself worked for a recovery facility in Västberga, Stockholm.

All in all: entertaining, real, yet the dialogue should have been more well-written, and I also think the book slacked some where pace in concerned almost half-way through the book.
