The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist
5.0
This book for me started off slow and I wasn't sure if I would finish it. But it picked up in the second half and I found myself enjoying it more and more.
A great representation of why we should take care of the older generations and not deem them dispensable.
And the ending was hauntingly beautiful, her decision to give her child up and not flee, shows how strong a mothers love can be. And to find out all of the characters we grew to love are essentially dead by the end of the novel made me cry.
I also wept for Johannes, to find out he is finally a father the day before he is to die. A very poignant and beautiful story.
