Divorce. Moa Herngren. 2024.

On the marble worktop, her mobile phone pings and she snatches it up. A message from Niklas. Exhausted from anger, her hands are shaking as she opens it.

Not coming home.

Together for more than thirty years, Bea and Niklas live a comfortable life in Stockholm. But one evening, following a trivial argument, Niklas leaves. To Bea's horror, he insists they must separate.

But is this divorce really coming out of the blue?

Set against a long, hot summer, this brilliant, cinematic and gripping family drama follows the unravelling of a marriage from first the wife, then the husband's point of view. It is sure to cause a stir in book-clubs and living rooms everywhere.
