The Deal of a Lifetime

A holiday novella from the Author of “A Man Called Ove”

Backman’s short tale is about fathers and sons, triumphs and regrets, and hope for the future. In it a dying man asks to take the place of a dying little girl when a courier for death comes for her and finds out that the price is much more than a death for a death. Before doing the deal he and his guide stop in at his adult son’s bar for a last holiday visit. It’s sad, sweet, and a lovely holiday lesson.
