Blackwater

"Ekman pays more attention to the demands of the genre than one would expect. Sometimes she's mischievous....Sometimes, however, she plays the game, carefully placing physical and psychological clues that pave the way to the surprises at the end....[The novel is] an investigation of violence, a description of the changes in social life that are violence's context, a mapping of the human ties that counteract it all, achieved without abstraction and with great tenderness and anger."Ekman, Kerstin is the author of 'Blackwater', published 1996 under ISBN 9780312152475 and ISBN 0312152477.
