I have read several of Fredrik Bachman's books. I usually tend to like them but I don't really love them. This is the one that worked for me on every level. I love the characters, I love the setting, and I love the ending. This story is a good reminder that there's more to life than just serving others. You can have passions and desires of your own as well. Thank you Frederik.
