Punished
From the internationally bestselling author of the “extraordinary” (Fredrik Backman) novel Stolen comes a harrowing story—inspired by true events—of five Indigenous children forced to attend a government-run boarding school in 1950s Sweden, revealing the emotional scars they carry thirty years later. In the 1950s near the Arctic Circle, seven-year-olds Jon-Ante, Else-Maj, Nilsa, Marge, and Anne-Risten are taken from their families.

As the children visit home only sporadically, their parents know little about the abuse they fac...

Skam
Marina återvänder till Kiruna efter ett år söderöver. Rötternas dragningskraft går inte att stå emot. Men hemma har ingen glömt det som hände, särskilt inte de strängt troende laestadianska släktingarna. Tillbaka på sina barndomsgator börjar hon ifrågasätta vem hon blivit och varför. Uppväxtens plågsamma oro för att straffas för sina synder kommer upp till ytan. Och det går inte längre att blunda för självföraktet som tvingade henne att dölja sitt ursprung. Hur ska hon kunna läka såren och vem bär ansvaret för skammen som gått i arv? Efter framgångarna med "Stöld" och "Straff" är Ann-Helén Laestadius tillbaka med den storslagna finalen på Sápmitrilogin. "Skam" är hennes egen generations berättelse, en roman om omöjlig kärlek, förlusten av identitet och språk och en längtan efter att duga.
Someone
The quietest life can resonate the longest. A beautiful, bittersweet masterpiece about a remarkable journey of the heart SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2015 LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 2014 Someone begins on the stoop of a Brooklyn apartment building where Marie is waiting for her father to come home from work. It is the 1920s and in her Irish-American enclave the stories of her neighbours unfold before her short-sighted eyes. As the years pass Marie's own history plays out against the backdrop of a changing world. This is the story of one life in all its devastating pains and unexpected joys; its bursts of brilliant clarity and moments of profound confusion. Fragments of a curious childhood, of adolescent sexual awakenings, of motherhood and, finally, old age are pieced together in this resonant tale of an unremarkable, unforgettable woman. ______________________ 'A beautiful book' Sunday Telegraph 'Masterful' Irish Times 'Exquisite' New York Times
Blåsta
Valfrihetsknarkare. Karriärkramare. Navelskådare. Så har de beskrivits, men hur ser 80-talisterna på sig själva? I Blåsta! Sveket mot 80-talisterna undersöker Gustav Fridolin, med hjälp av intervjuer, statistik, fakta och analyser, sin egen generation och han finner nedskärningsgenerationen - de som växte upp med en ekonomi i fritt fall och en skenande arbetslöshet. Han upptäcker även att 80-talisterna kan delas in i två grupper: de utslagna och de trygghetssökande. De förstnämnda förlorade hoppet när fabrikerna stängdes och bubblorna sprack. De står utan arbete och flyr till kriminalitet och droger. De andra är rädda att hamna där. De godtar sämre arbetsvillkor, tr...
