Anne Katrine Boman's novel "Agatha" transports us to France in the 1940s. An elderly psychotherapist, tired of half a century of practice, is preparing to retire. He literally counts the days until his future freedom. But then a new client signs up for therapy, and his well-planned plan begins to unravel. Anne Katrine Boman, a practicing psychologist herself, effortlessly unravels the hidden mechanisms of human relationships and screws them together into new constructs. It is for this ease, characteristic of "Agatha"—a short novel about great emotion—that Boman was awarded the Italian Scrivere per Amore prize, given to works about love. Despite its lightness and grace, the novel speaks to deep and, to varying degrees, familiar existential experiences—in particular, the treacherous feeling of loneliness that sometimes arises and the sense of the meaninglessness of absolutely everything. The protagonist's quarrelsome nature, his vacillations between freedom and attachment to others, will remind some of Ove from Backman's novel, while others will recall Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Agatha has been translated into nearly thirty languages.
