Si la policía acusa a tu hija de asesinato, ¿hasta dónde llegarías para mantener unida a tu familia? Adam y Ulrika, un matrimonio normal, viven con su hija Stella, de dieciocho años, en una zona agradable en las afueras de Lund. En apariencia, su vida es perfecta... hasta que un día dicha ilusión se trunca de raíz cuando Stella es arrestada por haber asesinado brutalmente a un hombre casi quince años mayor que ella. Su padre, un respetado pastor de la iglesia sueca, y su madre, una conocida abogada defensora criminal, deberán replantearse su paradigma ético mientras la defienden e intentan comprender por qué es la principal sospechosa del crimen. ¿Hasta dónde llegarán para proteger a su hija? ¿Saben realmente cómo es? Y más preocupante aún: ¿acaso se conocen el uno al otro? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "...A compulsively readable tour de force." ―The Wall Street Journal New York Times Book Review recommends M.T. Edvardsson’s A Nearly Normal Family and lauds it as a “page-turner” that forces the reader to confront “the compromises we make with ourselves to be the people we believe our beloveds expect.” (NY Times Book Review Summer Reading Issue) M.T. Edvardsson’s A Nearly Normal Family is a gripping legal thriller that forces the reader to consider: How far would you go to protect the ones you love? In this twisted narrative of love and murder, a horrific crime makes a seemingly normal family question everything they thought they knew about their life―and one another. Eighteen-year-old Stella Sandell stands accused of the brutal murder of a man almost fifteen years her senior. She is an ordinary teenager from an upstanding local family. What reason could she have to know a shady businessman, let alone to kill him? Stella’s father, a pastor, and mother, a criminal defense attorney, find their moral compasses tested as they defend their daughter, while struggling to understand why she is a suspect. Told in an unusual three-part structure, A Nearly Normal Family asks the questions: How well do you know your own children? How far would you go to protect them?
