The fifth woman - Henning Mankell


By janelonguk - Posted on 30 August 2008

You've got to love Kurt Wallander. Mr Misery. Henning Mankell has created my view of the Swede (do Swede's know that they have the same name as a turnip-like vegetable?) He's depressed, lacks communication skills but is basically a very good man! What's not to like? Finding Henning Mankell for me was one of those moments when I realised that I had a whole new set of books I knew I'd enjoy - and in PAPERBACK! Finding a writer you love later in his/her career.... hoohar!!! Sadly have eaten the lot and now await new books.

Should add that Henning's books are very firmly set in southern Sweden. Gave me a view of the landscape. If I can ever afford to go to Sweden I would HAVE to visit some of the town's mentioned.
