Praise for Wilful Disregard 'Gripped me like an airport read . . . perfect.' Lena Dunham 'Lena Andersson's Wilful Disregard is a story of the heart written with bracing intellectual rigor. It is a stunner, pure and simple.' Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones When Ester Nillson meets the actor Olof Sten, she quickly recognises that they have an extraordinary connection, and she falls madly in love. Despite insistent use of the first person singular when discussing his life, Olof makes no secret of being married. And yet, though he claims he is careful to never mislead, or lead Ester on, the two begin to meet regularly. But Olof has been quite clear: he is married, and does not have plans to leave Ebba. And yet, the relationship continues over years, over repeated summers of distance, and winters of heated meetings in bars. Ester Nilsson has become a mistress. Cutting, often cruel, and written with razor-sharp humour, Lena Andersson explores the role of the lover in our culture through the intensely gripping Ester Nilsson. Impeccably observed, clever and true, Ester is your brilliant friend and you are her confidant.
