When the Cranes Fly South
by Lisa Ridzen
Published by Doubleday
My review on instagram
“A tender tale about ageing, our own and others’, and the quiet brutality of love. About what being a man is, and what being a human is, about fathers and sons and fathers and dogs…The kind of book you give to someone when you’re really trying to say “I’ve been thinking about you” but don’t know how.” These are the words of Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove and
I could not put it better if I tried!
The idea for Lisa Ridzén’s heartrending debut When the Cranes Fly South came to her through the discovery of notes her Grandfather’s care team had left the family as he neared the end of his life. She was also inspired by her research into masculinity in the rural communities of the Swedish far north, where she herself was raised and now lives in a small village outside Östersund. So, so well deserving of all the awards it has received for both the author, Lisa Ridzen and the translator, Alice Menzies.
