| Swedish title: Håpas du trifs bra i fengelset |
"This novel is like a vicious attack on beautifully written fiction - its style is abrupt, acid, corroding. A book which makes Charles Bukowski's novels about Henry Chinaski - notorious for their brutality - seem almost arty and sensitive." Svenska Dagbladet
It hurts more when you are revived than we you die. I want to kill you. Now I have to go through it all one more time. But backwards. And you don't answer my letters. People in prison don't answer letters.
It's that week when family members join in the therapy at the clinic. Anni is there reluctantly, to see Sami. After so many promises and relapses she doesn't have much hope left. They are sister and brother and grew up together, in a family where there was never enough money but always alcohol. Yet for Anni life turned out well - she has a job, a husband and children. For Sami everything has gone to hell. For long periods of time they have no contact, but Anni cannot stop longing to have her brother back.
