Christo ha dejado a sus padres en Atenas y se ha mudado a Estocolmo. A sus poco más de veinte años, una beca del gobierno sueco le da la oportunidad de estudiar historia de las ideas en la universidad, algo con lo que siempre había soñado. Pero está demasiado solo en Estocolmo, donde sobrevive con trabajos precarios en empresas regentadas por otros emigrantes como él. No domina todavía el idioma y Grecia continúa presente en su cabeza y en su corazón. Pero cuando conoce a Rania, todo su mundo se pone patas arriba. Amor y morriña, la novela más reciente de Theodor Kallifatides, es una historia cálida y llena de humanidad sobre los muchos obstáculos con los que topa un emigrante, también y especialmente a la hora de enamorarse.
Christo has left his parents in Athens and moved to Stockholm. In his early twenties, a scholarship from the Swedish government gives him the opportunity to study the history of ideas at university, something he had always dreamed of. But he is too lonely in Stockholm, where he survives with precarious jobs in companies run by other immigrants like him. He has not yet mastered the language and Greece is still present in his head and in his heart. But when he meets Rania, his whole world turns upside down.
