| Euthanasia Bondeson 2 | | Swedish title: Vit som marmor |
Best-selling author and amateur detective Euthanasia Bondeson is in Rome this time – and she’s just as outspoken and inquisitive as in The Streets of Babylon. The year is 1852. Latin, archaeology and Italian food are her latest passions, and she appears among Swedish artists and cosmopolitan archaeologists in a number of ever-changing guises, as before.
If her adventures in London brought her face to face with issues of poverty, prejudice and depravity, the Eternal City gives her cause to ponder on beauty, art and death. She encounters the past in this city, in the form of both antiquity and her own youthful years. And ancient gods enter into the action – the poet god himself, pale and beautiful, Cupid with his arrows, and of course Death. Everything is in place for a new, intelligent, erudite and exciting mystery with Euthanasia Bondeson.
Reviews:
“ ...Carina Burman’s novels are also packed with humour and perception. She, or her characters, are not averse to taking a pot-shot at both their own times and ours. As we read we see a double reflection of time and history. We see not only those who existed in the past, but ourselves as well.”
(Bergslagsposten)
“The Streets of Babylon is a totally irresistible novel, full of the aromas – sometimes the stench – of times gone by, and just as full of excitement and charm.”
