Our Take
Harri Opuku investigates a murder on his estate with the enthusiasm of a boy who hasn't understood yet what kind of world he's in. Kelman writes his voice with such precision and care that what comes feels like violence against you personally. The tragedy is not the ending — it is the whole novel.
