.The author is exceptional good in his ability to integrate popular cultural phenomena deeply rooted in the swedish people.
The plot of Little Star is at once both beautifully simple and incredibly complex. The story is a simple tale of an abandoned child and the family who finds her but beneath that surface is an incredibly weird tale which I can’t outline here without spoiling, so I won’t. Suffice to say that singing babies, serial killing children and Abba feature heavily in what may well be the most bizarre, yet compelling tale I have read in a long time....
