And Life Goes On

Karin Wahlberg

The polio epidemic is stopped and the acute situation at the hospital is over, but the daily acute cases and more prolonged illnesses keep the staff busy. Again we meet the doctors and nurses, the wives that worry about their children as well as about their absent husbands. Karin Wahlberg deepens the portraits of the people we met in There is Still Hope. With a large dose of nostalgia and time color she paint a panorama of a small-town life filled with joy and sorrow.

Words from the agent

Again it’s obvious that the variations in good fiction are endless. In And Life Goes On we get close portraits of real people, with talents and shortcomings, goodness and dark sides. You may even cry while reading this heart warming story. Lessons In Murder on the other hand throws you right into the hard boiled noir genre with sharply caricatured characters in worn down environments which we so gladly enter while reading crime fiction. It’s dark, it’s intelligent, it’s funny and above all, it’ spot on. Two grand titles, all you have to do is to lean back and enjoy.
