LITTLE DARLING (MAMMAS POJKE)

Karin Aspenström

Christel Persson lives with her teenage son Harry in the suburbs of an idyllic small town in Sweden. One summer day, Harry attends a music festival. The next day, Christel learns that Harry has been accused of sexual assault. The news spreads quickly through the small community, and soon her friends begin to distance themselves. Christel suddenly finds herself alone and isolated. All she has left is the hope of vindication.

In her desperate quest to uncover what really happened, Christel starts to push the boundaries of right and wrong. She becomes increasingly obsessed with protecting Harry, willing to go further than she ever thought possible. But as she digs deeper into what actually happened that night, she begins to have doubts – what happens if the truth isn’t what she hoped for?

Little Darling is a gripping and intense novel about a parent’s worst nightmare.
