Most people think its just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an artist herself, knows otherwise and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant town, a group of teenagers find refuge from their difficult home lives by spending their days laughing and telling stories out on a pier. Theres Joar, who never backs down from a fight; quiet and bookish Ted who is mourning his father; Ali, the daughter of a man who never stays in one place for long; and finally, theres the artist, a boy who hoards sleeping pills and shuns attention, but who possesses an extraordinary gift that might be his ticket to a better life.

    Softcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. #1 New York Times bestselling author Fredrik Backman delivers an unforgettable tale of four teenagers whose friendship profoundly impacts a stranger's life twenty-five years later. In a famous painting, three tiny figures sit at the end of a pier, unnoticed by most. However, Louisa, an artist, is determined to uncover their story. Twenty-five years prior, a group of teens escapes their troubled home lives by spending their days on that same pier. Joar, a fighter; Ted, a quiet boy mourning his father; Ali, the daughter of a transient father; and an artist boy grappling with his own demons form a bond that gives them hope and purpose. Together, they create a transcendent work of art that will eventually come into Louisa's possession. As Louisa navigates the complexities of this bequest, she embarks on a cross-country journey to discover the painting's origins. The closer she gets to its birthplace, the more she feels inspired to express her own artistic voice. This journey reveals that happy endings may not always align with expectations, highlighting the transformative power of friendship and art in unexpected ways. …
