In Every Moment We Are Still Alive

Chosen by the New York Times as one of the "Notable Books of 2018"

Chosen by El País as one of this past decade's nine best novels about life and
death

The prize-winning, bestselling tale of love, loss, family and the lives we
live moment by moment, from a stunning new voice in European fiction.

Tom's heavily pregnant girlfriend Karin is rushed to hospital with severe flu.
While the doctors are able to save the baby, they are helpless in the face of
what transpires to be acute Leukemia, and in a moment as fleeting as it is
cruel Tom gains a daughter but loses his soul-mate. In Every Moment is the
story of a year that changes everything, as Tom must reconcile the fury of
bereavement with the overwhelming responsibility of raising his daughter,
Livia, alone.

By turns tragic and redemptive, meditative and breathless, achingly poignant
and darkly funny, this heavily autobiographical novel has been described in
its native Sweden as 'hypnotic', 'impossible to resist' and 'one of the most
powerful books about grief ever written'.
