I enjoyed this novel about a court case set in Sweden. It followed the trial of Stella, who was accused of murder. The novel is told in 3 voices, Stella, and her mother, and her father. It examines Stella's explosive behavior and her tight and enduring friendship with her friend, Amina. It also examines what lengths you would go to in order to protect the ones you love.
The story is tense, and you are constantly wondering what will happen next. It is a surprise to hear what people will do, whether or not they will compromise their moral standards, and what they will do to discover or conceal the truth. I thought the book was interesting, and was intrigued by the difference between the US and Swedish courts.
This book makes you think a lot about what you would do to keep your family safe and protected, and what relationships truly mean to you.
