A quiet Swedish novel of an aged man examining his life as he nears its end. Bo has lost the life he knew as his wife has been afflicted with dementia and now lives in a home. As his days slip away with his caregivers, his dog Sixteen gives him comfort, along with his work friend Ture. His relation with his son Hal is more fraught. On the whole, this was a moving novel of family, aging, love, and friendship.
