Petterson's debut novel, published in English for the first time
Twelve-year-old Arvid and his family are on holiday, staying with
his grandparents on the coast of Denmark. Dimly aware of the
tension building between his mother and grandmother, Arvid is on
the cusp of becoming a teenager: feeling awkward in his own skin,
but adamant that he can take care of himself. As Arvid cycles down
to the beach with its view of the lighthouse, he meets Mogens, an
older boy who lives nearby, and together they set out to find fresh
experiences in this strange new world. Echoland is a breathtaking
read, capturing the unique drift of childhood summers, filled with
unarticulated anxiety.
