The White City by Karolina Ramqvist

4.0

In the suburbs of a snow-covered Swedish town, the life of a young mother is falling apart: her partner - a criminal of an unspecified nature - has disappeared and the authorities, following the movements of money, arrive at her, who is in danger of losing everything. She turns to her husband's companions, to the women she believed to be friends, but finds only closed doors, turned backs and betrayal. With her insistence, however, she finally manages to break through to the heart of one of her old friends, who decides to stop being the plaything of a criminal and, in the name of solidarity between women, will help the protagonist to take her life back in her hands in a Bonnie & Clide ending.
A strange novel, which at first seems like a typical Scandinavian noir but doesn't leave you disappointed when you realise it isn't, and which you can't help but keep reading until the last page.
