7 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
How does a child become a criminal? How does a father lose a son?An epic crime novel with the excitement of Jo Nesbo's Headhunters and the narrative depth of We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Father is inspired by the extraordinary true story of three brothers who committed ten audacious bank robberies in Sweden over the course of just two years.None had committed a crime before. All were under twenty-four years old. When their incredible spree had come to an end amid the glare of the international media, all of them would be changed forever as individuals and as a family.This intoxicating, heartbreaking thriller tells the story of how three boys are transformed over the course of their lives from innocent children to the most wanted criminals in Sweden. And of the man who made them that way: their father.

I'm mildly obsessed with all things Scandinavian at the moment. This book is a true story that takes place in Sweden, and is about 3 brothers who commit a string of robberies. It's a departure from my WWII or Norwegian crime novels, but proving to be quite entertaining so far! #grandrapids #mi #labordayreading #books #truestory

I have never read anything that I enjoyed so much that I didn't want to put down but at the same time didn't want it to end. The story and voice is so enthralling. I cannot wait until the sequel comes out and I can learn more about this family. A must read for anyone who likes crime thrillers!

This book is a chunker at almost 600 pages, but I couldn't put it down. I loved it!

A fictionalized account of a crime spree by three brothers .Sweden was riveted .Young brothers with no criminal record.A tense read written by their real brother a journalist.Gripped from first pages&the connection to their father will shock.
