Italian Shoes by Henning Mankell

5.0

A tale of redemption, which comes from unexpected origins. Fredrik Welin has banished himself so thoroughly that he needs a dip in the frozen ocean to verify his existence every day. Then one day, an old woman with a walker appears in his yard and everything changes. Detailed descriptions and poignant real life situations run throughout this novel by Mankell.
