Softcover with flaps. Publisher: Förlaget M | Utg. 2019 | Softcover with flaps | 183 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Svenska --- Information regarding the book: De två huvudkaraktärerna i Den ärliga bedragaren passar inte in i den lilla insnöade skärgårdsby där de bor, omgivna av bybornas elaka skvaller. Anna Aemelin har gjort sig en förmögenhet på barnboksillustrationer. Katri Kling lever ett asketiskt liv tillsammans med sin lillebror och en varglik hund. De två kvinnornas liv sammanflätas i en mörk tvekamp där bådas föreställningar om sig själva ställs på ända. Vem är det egentligen som bedrar vem?När romanen utkom i engelsk översättning år 2009 möttes den av hyllande recensioner. Tove Janssons prosa är glasklar, rak och exakt. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
