Book Review – When the Cranes Fly South by Lisa Ridzén, translated by Alice Menzies
About the Book Bo lives a quiet existence in his small rural village in the north of Sweden. He is elderly and his days are punctuated by visits from his care team and his son. Fortunately, he still has his rich memories, phone calls with his best friend, and his beloved dog Sixten for company. Only now his son is insisting the dog must be taken away.

Hopefully #DeadWater, book 3 in the Rees and Khan series, from @simontoyne.bsky.social and @harpercollins.bsky.social will be slightly less emotional

My Top 3 February 2026 Reads
February was a slow reading month (only five books finished) because I was concentrating on rereading the books shortlisted for the Winston Graham Historical Prize ahead of the meeting with my fellow judges next week. The winner will be announced at the award ceremony on Thursday 12th March at Cornwall Museum & Art Gallery. You can find my three favourite February reads below with links to my full review or the book description on Goodreads.

Book Review: When the Cranes Fly South, by Lisa Ridzén
"A sudden trumpeting sound interrupts those thoughts, and I see two majestic birds flying low overhead. The first cranes of the year. I pause to watch them. Their powerful wings, rhythmically beating the air and carrying their large bodies forward. Before they fly south again, I promise myself, I'll have left this place."
