Title: A Different View of Sweden
Review: To pick up and read Moa Martinsons' book,My Mother Gets Married will enable the reader to see a different version of Sweden than they have received from ABBA, The Farmers Daughter or Ann Margaret. This is an intensely harsh view of rural Sweden. Written from the authors point of view as a child, one sees through her eyes social injustice, intense poverty and alchohalic breakdowns. There is a tender quality in the protagonist that draws the reader in and makes the book difficult to put down. The honesty of the author in viewing her difficult past puts the reader in her shoes (Which by the way, she doesn't always have) and walk the dusty road of her childhood. Her feelings are so intense that you worry about her when you close the book and need to open it again to make certain she is going to make to the next page.
