But first she was a human being, a full, complicated person, and she insists that we know her fully as she tells her story from beyond the grave. We witness her short life, the harrowing murder that ended it, and her grief over the loved ones she has left behind. We see her parents struggle with guilt and loss. We watch her children grow up in adopted families and patch together imperfect lives. We feel her dreams, fears, and passions. And still we will never know her name. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA heartrending novel of life after death, Sara Stridsberg's \u003ci\u003eThe Antarctica of Love\u003c\/i\u003e is an unflinching testament of a woman on the margins, a tale of family lost and found, a report of a murder in the voice of the victim, and a story that brims with unexpected tenderness and hope.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSara Stridsberg\u003c\/b\u003e is an internationally acclaimed writer and playwright whose work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
