My Friends
Most people look at the world's most famous seascape and see water. Eighteen-year-old Louisa looks closer and finds three tiny figures at the end of a pier — then spends a train ride learning how those friends, twenty-five years earlier, turned one brutal harbor-town summer into a painting that outlived them. Backman's novel is about found family, art that refuses to stay a landscape, and the people who call you one of us before you believe it.
“If you've had people who can make you laugh like that, you never forget it. If not, words are pointless.”
