The blurb on this novel states The Father is an ‘unforgettable, thrilling crime novel of how three brothers came to be Sweden’s most wanted criminals, inspired by the true story and written by the fourth brother.” Well. Let’s hope the brothers are happy with it. It’s a good novel, well written, and manages to convey the absurdity of continuing to rob banks when you know the entire country (of Sweden) is after you, and the inevitable, unhappy ending.
