She is the daughter of two strangers he once knew very well, in a beautiful city he once called home. The young woman has come to ask him about her parents, about the past. And as Hugo sits across the table from her, still afraid after all these years, the memories rise to the surface, as luminous and intoxicating as ever . . .  From New York to Stockholm, Paris to Berlin and Belsize Park to Brighton Pier, Johanna Hedman traces the restless choreography of a love triangle. Bittersweet and euphoric, The Trio is an instant classic- a novel about the path not taken, the people we might have become and the relationships that haunt us long after they have ended.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9780241994627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 10 Oct 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: London, United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 19.7(H)x13(L)x2(W)237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 237\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eJohanna Hedman was born in Stockholm in 1993.
