Thank you so much Waiheke Radio for serialising Sonata for Miriam. What a wonderful idea to have Waihekians reading it. Somehow it made it belong to its place.
I loved Linda Olsson's first book (though I think the NZ title is much better than the plain Astrid and Veronika of the UK version.) She has a wonderful talent for unfolding relationships in a very sensitive and beautiful way, and the haunting music that accompanied the readings fitted so well. (It was through Alex, the composer that I discovered your serialisation). For me these books connect different bits of my own life. In the late 60's I lived in Auckland, then after returning to the UK we established a connection with Sweden where we now spend quite a bit of time. I had difficulty finding an English version of Sonata so had bought a Swedish one, but gave up. Now, here in Scotland, I can listen to your New Zealand readings while following the Swedish text to help improve my Swedish!
