Book excerpt: 'Sad and funny, this is a wonderful book. I didn't want it to end' WOMAN'S WEEKLY 'An enthralling saga, set in Sweden, about the lives of two boys before, during and after the war ... impossible to put down' THE TIMES As a child, Simon was always aware that there was something different about him, something that caused late-night quarrels and sometimes tears. With the rise of Hitler in Germany and the coming of war to Sweden's neighbours, the tensions increase. Befriending a young Jewish boy, Isak, who is quickly taken under his mother's wing, enriches Simon's life, but makes it more difficult too - for Isak seems to fit in much better at home than Simon does. With the war's end comes the day when Simon must be told the truth. The truth about his affinity for the lake and its surrounding oak trees; for the strange dreams of an old man beneath the ways - and the truth about his past.

Yet both are single mothers devoted to their children, and both find joy and comfort in cultivating plants and flowers -- and so together, they begin to develop a close bond. Through many afternoons spent amid the beauty of Inge's garden, Mira slowly reveals the horrors of a shadowed past and the heartbreak involving her beloved daughter.As Mira and her family begin a wrenching journey of discovery, Inge unwittingly uncovers secrets in her own life that make her question the very order of her world . . . and wonder whether the truth is really what anyof them needs to find -- or if, in fact, it is the truth that will destroy them.An elegant and moving novel of time and memory, love and distance, and the wounds they create and conceal, "Two Women" is Marianne Fredriksson's most affecting work of fiction to date.
