Small Comfort by Ia Genberg (Tr. Kira Josefsson): Money, money, money
A life in books | 17.04.2026 14:24
An international bestseller, Ia Genberg’s The Details was one of 2023’s standout reads for me. Published for the first time in English, this year’s International Booker Prize longlisted Small Comfort is an earlier novel, also translated by Kira Joseffson. It has a similar structure, following five characters although this time the link is money rather than the narrator’s memories of her life and the people who influenced it.
