Bondad, La - by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Paperback)

About the Book

A philosophical thriller with more than 40,000 copies sold in Sweden. A suspense novel that is also a social critique and a contemporary allegorical tale. This time the story given to us by John Ajvide Lindqvist contains an element of terror much more realistic than the vampires of 'Let the Right One In': what would happen if one day 'goodness' disappeared? That's what happens in the seaside village where the main characters Max, Siw, Anna, Johan, Marko and Maria live. When a yellow shipping container appears, which no one claims, neither the neighbors nor the port authorities or the town council want to take care of it. After several days of litigation, they decide to open it and unwittingly unleash something horrible that will tear the goodness out of the hearts of the locals. The six friends - and occasional lovers - who have grown up in this small town will find their lives forever altered.
