The Trio Johanna Hedman

“An absolutely fantastic debut novel.”—Fredrik
Backman, author of A Man Called Ove
A deeply atmospheric debut novel about three
young people testing the boundaries of intimacy that
is being hailed as “the love child of Normal People
and Brideshead Revisited.”
When Hugo takes a room in the house of one of
Stockholm’s wealthiest families, he unwittingly
invites himself into the lives of people he will be
unable to forget: Thora, a beautiful descendant of
old money, and her childhood best friend August,
who dreams of art. None of them have anything in
common but find themselves irresistibly drawn to
each other.
Decades later, a young woman shows up on Hugo’s
door in New York one morning, hoping to stay with
him. She introduces herself as the child of Thora
and August, and comes carrying questions about her
parents that send Hugo reeling back to his youth—
to two euphoric summers in Stockholm, and people
to whom he is now a stranger.
Timelessly familiar, tender and exultant, The Trio is a
novel about the choices we could have made. About
who we may have been, and the relationships that
influence and linger on with us, long after they have
come to an end.
