A haunting tale of despair and devotion
- Book: The Silver Road
- Location: Sweden
- Author: Stina Jackson
The Silver Road is an atmospheric and emotive novel set in northern Sweden. The story centres around Lelle, a devoted father committed to finding his missing teenage daughter, Lina, and Meja, a lonely teenager looking to escape a dysfunctional relationship with her mentally-ill mother, Silje. Originally written in Swedish, the translation felt relatively smooth and natural with a descriptive narrative, believable dialogue and an interesting array of characters. The book felt a bit slow to start, but it does pick up pace as it heads towards an unpredictable but satisfying ending. It would have benefited from a faster pace and a little more detail and anticipation in places, but it is still a well-written thriller.
I received a free ARC of this book from the publisher.
