When the Snow Fell by Henning Mankell

3.0

Sweet little book
This is a fairly odd little book.  Joel Gusafsson is a 14-year-old boy whose mother packed a bag and left several years ago.  Joel and his father Samuel live a frugal existence in a small Swedish town in the late 1950s.    When I borrowed this e-audiobook from the library I didn't realise that it was the third one in a series, and I don't think it really mattered.  The plot is fairly pointless and meandering but overall I liked this book, but I am not sure why.
