Fantastiskt skickligt uppbyggd roman. Gripande och grym. En roman som håller greppet hela vägen.

Riktigt bra berättelse och ett härligt språk. Anne Swärd kommer jag helt klart att läsa mer av.

I think I am giving up on this. It is awful.

I received Breathless as part of a Goodreads giveaway.

Lo and Lukas meet when she is six and he thirteen after a fire threatens their village. Their friendship-relationship (usually against the wishes of Lo's family) is the basis for the book, which occasionally provides fast-forwards to Lo's future travels and escapades.

Sward's prose is beautiful and lyrical, but I agree with the other reviewers that the structure of the book makes it hard to follow. I was constantly having to try and figure out when and where in the narrative I was, which took me out of the story. Also, the "friendship" between Lo and Lukas did make me uncomfortable at times, and while I think the characters were three-dimensional and interesting, I didn't always understand their characterizations or motivations. All in all, I think I was at a disadvantage not being familiar with the "culture" of 1970s-1980s Sweden, where the bulk of the novel takes place.

Still an interesting read, though, particularly for fans of coming-of-age novels.
