With her second novel, "Harald's Mother", Johanna Frid shows how to talk about relationships seriously, writes Kulturnyheter's Ulrika Milles. Frid's Claudia does not meet life weaponless; She has the language, she quotes, alludes, borrows.

She is sooty entertaining, friction and egg. Young people can have that, writes Milles, and young people can also have that in their own lives. The story of Claudia and Harald has that particular style.
