Give this book a chance. It's slow at times and not as detailed at other times as one might like, but its coverage of some events of the 60s (Columbia University sit-ins, the events of 1968, rise of Weather Underground, problems within SDS) are really riveting. And I like the conclusion where he tries to put all the puzzle pieces together in the messed-up decade of the Sixties. A little too philosophical at times, but wasn't that what the Sixties were all about?
This book is a departure from Mankell's Kurt Wallender series. It's worth reading. It's that rare book that doesn't seek to wrap everything up in a satisfactory ending, with good triumphing over evil. Many critical questions go unanswered, which stimulates thinking. An excellent book for conspiracy lovers, Mankell leads into two worlds: first, the mind of a fifty year old woman trying to investigate something both personal and global, and second, a fictional underworld of AIDS research in Africa that seems more plausible than not. My only complaint about Mankell is his translator, who delivers a clunky and wooden translation, especially in the dialogue, interior and exterior. Still, Mankell satisfies.
