(3) YA Translated by Laura A. Wideburg. Swedish teen Steffi has remarkable musical talent but is endlessly bullied at school. When she meets elderly jazz musician Alvar, she draws strength and inspiration from his rich history and their companionship. Lövestam offers an offbeat portrait of an intergenerational friendship forged through a shared passion for music. American readers may be interested in the similarities and differences they notice between Swedish culture and their own.
