A Question Mark is Half a Heart: The new 2021 novel from an internationally bestselling fiction author

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER ‘A beautiful tale’ The Sun ‘Such an engrossing and affecting story of love and loss – and the inescapable shadows cast on the present by the past’ Joanna Glen Elin has the perfect life. A successful photographer, she lives in New York with her husband Sam and their seventeen-year-old daughter, Alice. But something has always been missing… When Elin receives a letter from her childhood friend Fredrik on the Swedish island of Gotland, memories come flooding back: of a past she has tried to forget, and a terrible secret she has shared with nobody - a secret that made her flee the island, and never return. Torn between past and present and afraid the truth will destroy her family, Elin sets out on a journey to another continent, but also to another time and another life. The rural town of Gotland, a small place filled with sagas, is a stark contrast to the bustling city life Elin is accustomed to in New York. The top fiction of the year, A Question Mark is Half a Heart by Sofia Lundberg, explores this dichotomy in a deeply moving narrative. For fans of Kristin Hannah (The Nightingale), Robert Harris (The Cicero Trilogy), Cathy Bramley (Merrily Ever After), Bernardine Evaristo (Mr Loverman), and A. A. Dhand (The Blood Divide).
