When I have loved an author's first novel, I'm very hesitant to read their next one. I fear I will be disappointed and it will tarnish the memories of the first. Not so with Sonata for Miriam by Linda Olsson. All the things I loved about her first novel, Astrid & Veronika, are here: beautiful, spare writing and a subtle hand with characters. But, I'm happy to say that I think her second novel is even better with stronger character development and more complexity. Spanning two generations, it explores impossible life choices and ultimately finding acceptance and forgiveness for them.
