My friends a novel Cover Image Large Print Book

My friends [large print] : a novel / Fredrik Backman ; translated by Neil Smith.

Backman, Fredrik, 1981- (author.). Smith, Neil (Neil Andrew), (translator.).

Summary:

"Most people don't even notice them--three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it's just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. Twenty-five years earlier, a group of teenagers find refuge from their home lives by spending summer days on an abandoned pier, telling jokes, sharing secrets, and committing small acts of rebellion. Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art. The closer Louisa gets to the painting's birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about what she'll find"-- Back cover.
