Inge is tall and cool and Mira is petite and dynamic. When they meet, each is attracted by something special and different about the other. But friendships based on the attraction of opposites can be stormy, and theirs is no exception.
Blonde Inge is a native of Sweden, while dark Mira has fled there to escape the living hell of Chile at the time of the military coup led by General Pinochet. They are brought together by their mutual love of plants, but this gentle pastime is soon overshadowed by the terrible legacy of Mira¿s past. It is a legacy that will reach out to touch many lives, including those of Inge and Mira¿s children.
Bestselling Swedish author Marianne Fredriksson has again created a totally involving story. Written with sympathy and insight and sparkling with unexpected humour, INGE & MIRA is a deeply moving tale of lives haunted by past violence.

The story is a powerful one. In some instances the bare-bones language works well, the simple sentences shock and provoke: "As a child I played on the banks of river Mapocho and now it was running red with blood. A constant stream of dead bodies came floating along." At other times, Fredriksson's staccato tone, translated from the Scandinavian, seems emotionless, almost clichéd. Consequently, the simplistic quality of the prose often strains to convey the complexity of issues raised in Inge and Mira. --Eithne Farry
