In this fresh take on a familiarparadigm, a sensitive teen inherits a well-kept family secret touching onSweden’s role in World War II that’s profoundly affected her family.
It’s been five years since theirmother died, but Louisa and her older sister, Greta, like their dad, stillhaven’t healed. Greta’s miserable, but Louisa approves their father’s decision,prompted by his own mother’s death, to move the family to his childhood home inPennsylvania. Long estranged from his parents, he’s a proponent of neverlooking back. Louisa begins to wonder: Who was her dad as a child? What madehim the man he is now? More than ready for change, Louisa enjoys school,especially photography class, and basks in unaccustomed attention from twoboys. She’d be content to float along on the sparkling present but for thecalls on the old, disconnected rotary phone in the attic that anchor her to thepast. Each time she answers, a voice begins to relay a chapter, drawn from thewell of vanished family history, in the life of her father’s father in Sweden.He and his twin brother were barely adults when war broke out and increasingly troubledby Sweden’s compromised neutrality. Subplots and an awkward, occult plot devicebriefly distract, but Louisa and her taut, fragile connection to a rarelyexplored past hold readers’ interest.
Insightful and compassionatestorytelling. (Historical fantasy. 12-16)
