Description
A Moth to a Flame by Stig Dagerman is a psychological masterpiece that explores the depths of human emotion. In 1940s Stockholm, Bengt's life is shattered by the unexpected death of his mother, leading him down a path of despair and rage. As he struggles to cope with his loss, Bengt discovers a dark family secret that sets him on a collision course with the woman who embodies his deepest desires - and his greatest fears. This searing tale of bereavement and loathing is a powerful exploration of the human condition, set against the atmospheric backdrop of Sweden's moody streets and remote islands. Written in a taut, restrained style, A Moth to a Flame is an intense and thought-provoking novel that will resonate with readers long after they finish reading.
