Alex Schulman
By calling at different times, Vidar discovers that he can call back to one day only: June 17th, 1986. As he maps out his family’s every move the unhappy realities of his childhood rise to the surface, and he comes to believe that that day may have some bearing on the incident with his student in which he is now the subject of a criminal investigation. As Vidar crosses boundary after boundary, and the day from his childhood gradually unfolds, the noose tightens in the present.
A devastating story by one of Sweden’s pre-eminent writers of how the harsh realities of the past inform the fragility of the present, June 17th is an addictively breath-taking journey through time, asking us: What shapes a human?©2027 Alex Schulman (P)2027 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critics' reviews
One of the truly great Scandinavian storytellers. He writes with compassion and curiosity about childhood, and the vulnerability of being small, in a way like no other I know. This is a novel that stays with you, you'll put it down and call your parents, or text your kids. And you'll wish that you could call yourself at some point in your life just to say: "You'll be okay” (FREDRIK BACKMAN, bestselling author of A Man Called Ove)
Both narrative threads, that of childhood and that of the present, tell their stories completely hypnotically, reflecting the mounting desperation life can entail . . . A novel that is truly rattling in its existential perspective, its simplicity, and its multi-layered grief
It’s as if everything Alex Schulman has written before has cleared the way for this novel
