[ Recommandation de ] Helena Henschen's novel I skuggan av ett brott (The Shadow of a Crime, 2004) is an outstanding debut about a family tragedy.

Henschen skillfully brings together fact and fiction in a serious attempt to understand the underlying causes that led to ”The von Sydow murders”, a scandal in March 1932 that shook Sweden to the core.

Based upon true events and the motives behind human acts many years ago, Henschen's novel nonetheless becomes a vivid story pointing straight to our times.
