Martin Magntorn: Mother Without Shadow

A touching portrayal of a son’s view on his mother’s aging and their bond shaped by the past.

From the publisher:
Mother Without Shadow is a story told from various perspectives: about being a working woman and mother during the second half of the 20th century in Sweden, about aging and the different phases of life, and about a conversation between a mother and her son concerning light and darkness from childhood. It is also a kind of reckoning between parent and child about what we remember and how our shared memories differ.
