Reader | 2 comments Lo leí aproximadamente en el año 2017-2019, según recuerdo el tltulo se llamaba 'a donde vuelan las golondrinas', una profesora de literatura nos hizo leer el libro, supongo que fue traducido, tal vez el título fue traducido erróneamente. Erik y un amigo suyo fueron a una montaña, su abuela vivía ahí, o tenía una casa allí, no recuerdo bien ahora, buscando en la cabaña, encontraron las fotos y recuerdos de su abuela, fueron a la montaña a esquiar si no me equivoco, sucede en Noruega o un país nórdico o escandinavo.

I read it approximately in the year 2017-2019, as I remember the title was called 'where the swallows fly', a literature teacher made us read the book, I suppose it was translated, perhaps the title was translated wrongly. Erik and a friend of his went to a mountain, his grandmother lived there, or had a house there, I don't remember well now, searching in the cabin, they found his grandmother's photos and memories, they went to the mountain to ski if I'm not mistaken , happens in Norway or a Nordic or Scandinavian country.

Reader | 2 comments Well, I don't know many places in Spanish to find book titles, anyway, if you need the information, I'll translate it: A boy named Eric/Erik, it takes place in Norway, in his youth his grandmother dated a Nazi guard, he has photos and letters between them. I read it approximately in the year 2017-2019, as I remember the title was called 'where the swallows fly', a literature teacher made us read the book, I suppose it was translated, perhaps the title was translated wrongly.

(Use translator, so maybe it may contain grammatical errors)

Thanks Reader. I replaced the topic header with Google's translation. Feel free to edit it. Your original header was: "Un chico llamado Eric/Erik, sucede en Noruega, en su juventud su abuela salía con un guardia nazi, tiene fotos y cartas entre ellos."

What's the genre (which we need to add to the header) - e.g., fiction for teens or adults? mystery, historical fiction (two time periods), literary fiction, nonfiction memoir, etc.?
