THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A raw intimate story of trust and betrayal' - A. L. Kennedy The
Guardian 'It's heartbreaking. It's scary. It's beautiful' - Fredrik Backman author of A Man
Called Ove Will You Care If I Die? is a powerful memoir about social class race friendship
and unexpected love and a blazingly topical exploration of social polarization and the rise of
the far right. In Sweden where children murder children and where gun violence is the worst
in Europe Nicolas Lunabba's job as a social organizer with Malmö's underclass requires firm
boundaries and emotional detachment. But all that changes when he meets Elijah - an unruly
teenage boy of mixed heritage whose perilous future reminds Nicolas of his own troubled and
violent past. Allowing Elijah into his home and then into his heart Nicolas crosses one of
his own red lines. With the odds stacked against them and completely unprepared for the
journey he and Elijah now set off on together can Nicolas keep Elijah safe from harm and steer
him towards a better future? Written as a letter to Elijah Will You Care If I Die? tells
Nicolas and Elijah's story - and asks us to reimagine what it means to care for one another in
an uncaring world. Translated from the Swedish by Henning Koch
