Let's Hope for the Best

Edición de la obra Let's Hope for the Best

One evening, Carolina says goodnight to her partner, Aksel. Things have been tough for both of them recently, especially with an eight-month-old son to raise. So when Aksel dies unexpectedly in the night, Carolina's world is turned upside down. Carolina receives a strange email from her boyfriend Aksel, detailing computer passwords and other instructions in event of his death. She's irritated-- this is so typical of her unsentimental partner! Aksel ends the message: Let's hope for the best! Five months later, he is dead. As she recounts their passionate first encounter, months of courtship, and decision to have a child together, Carolina devotedly chronicles the months after Aksel's passing like a ship's log, eager to find some explanation for the bad hand she's been dealt. When new romance rushes in, Carolina finds herself assuming the reticent role Aksel once played. -- adapted from jacket
