'A tender tale about ageing, our own and others, and the quiet brutality of love. About what being a man is, and what being a human is, about fathers and sons and fathers and dogs. It's really a book for anyone who's had to say goodbye. The kind of book you give to someone when you're really trying to say "I've been thinking about you" but don't know how. " Fredrik Backman, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove. Bo is running out of time. Yet time is one of the few things he's got left; his body is failing him and his quiet existence is only broken up by the daily visits from his home care team. His hands soon too weak to open the precious jar housing the scarf of his Alzheimer-stricken wife Frederika, which still bears her scent. Fortunately he still has his beloved dog Sixten for company, only now his son insists upon taking the dog away. The very same son that Bo is wanting to mend his relationship with before his time is up. The threat of losing Sixten stirs up a whirlwind of emotions that make him look back at his life, his fatherhood and the way he expresses his love. When the Cranes Fly South. is a profoundly moving debut about an ageing man's fight to keep the power over his own life.
