After the Fire by Henning Mankell

4.0

Henning Mankell writes so well about life, ageing and mortality. As in all of Henning Mankell's books, the story line is intriguing and the characters quirky and interesting. I felt that there were definite similarities between Fredrik Welin, the main character of 'After the Fire', and Kurt Wallander, with whom any avid Mankell reader will be familiar, sharing the same introspective personality, bordering on depression which Mankell captures so well. An engaging read - highly recommended. Thanks to Vintage, Random House Publishers and NetGalley for the ARC.
