    Great start, okay finish
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 27, 2015*

When Daniel’s father calls from Sweden to tell him his mother has been committed to a psychiatric hospital, Daniel tells his father, “I’ll book a flight for the morning.” But by morning, his father has already called back. “Daniel, she’s not here!” Daniel’s mother has checked herself out of the hospital and it isn’t long before she calls Daniel and tells him, “I’m sure your father has spoken to you. Everything that man has told you is a lie. I’m not mad. I don’t need a doctor. I need the police. I’m about to board a flight to London. Meet me at Heathrow…”Tom Rob Smith begins The Farm with a great story premise. It’s filled with mystery and suspense and puts Daniel in an intriguing dilemma - who is telling the truth?Tilde arrives in London carrying a beat-up satchel, stuffed with chronological evidence implicating her husband, Chris, and others in a violent crime. What follows is a marathon tale of what was supposed to have been a happy retirement on a farm in Tilde’s native Sweden. It’s a race against time because Chris is on his way and will almost certainly commit her to a hospital in London.The momentum builds, as Smith introduces many mysterious characters with questionable motives. He blurs the lines by adding images of giant elk, fairy tale trolls, Swedish customs and harsh winters. Tilde’s rambling account of events on the farm at times seems plausible, but at other times her story seems far-fetched, her observations more and more paranoid.I enjoyed reading The Farm because of this interesting storyline, however, its momentum met an abrupt and unsatisfying open-ended finish, with limited explanation. It’s a curious mix of a modern story frame, filled with folk tales, local lore and characters with nearly superhuman physical fitness. Tilde swims out into a chilly river, rows boats, hauls wheelbarrows, paints barns, runs, and rides her bike everywhere, often in the middle of the night.Overall, however, I found The Farm entertaining, despite its ending and can picture this as a movie. It will be interesting to see what kind of story Smith publishes next.

    A disturbing but compelling drama
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2015*

This is a difficult book to review because, to do it justice, I’d have to reveal much of the plot and I don’t like to do that.  However, the publicity “blurb” for the book gives full breadth to the conditions and circumstances which frame the first twenty or so pages.  Daniel’s mother, Tilde, has arrived in London from Sweden and wants the quiet privacy with her son to tell her compelling story of secrets, crimes and conspiracies that have driven her away from Chris, her husband and Daniel’s father, and their farm in Sweden.  She has left a Swedish asylum of her own accord and hopes to gain Daniel’s confidence and support. Author Tom Rob Smith spends over 200 pages letting Tilde carefully and methodically tell her story:  how she was ostracized by other Swedes even though Swedish is her native language, the tragedy of a young woman’s drowning, and the mysterious disappearance of Mia, the daughter of the town’s most powerful man named Hakan.  Smith has spun a powerful and tension-filled web and, as you read of Tilde’s experiences, you’ll wonder how much is real and how much is fantasy. When she completes her story, Daniel convinces his mom to enter a London facility for mental care.  Being the loving and dutiful son that he is, Daniel flies to Sweden to conduct his own investigation of Tilde’s theories and allegations.  With little cooperation by the citizens around Chris and Tilde’s farm, he learns of his mother’s truths, her fantasies, and a horrible secret that comes as a total surprise. Ultimately this is a story about what can go wrong in a family and how it can be corrected by those who care enough to go the extra mile with devoted care.

    An Onion of a Novel
  

*by K***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 13, 2014*

My pleasure in this book was intensified by seeing the author in person.  Smith's reputation was built on a well received trilogy of thrillers set in Russia, but this standalone novel had its genesis from personal experience.  A fact I wouldn't have known if he hadn't shared it right off the bat at the book store visit.  After his mother and father retired to a remote farm in Sweden, he received a call from his father alleging his mother had turned mad, become insane, and the next thing he knew, his mother was in London, accusing his father of crimes.  Not knowing who to believe, he found himself in uncharted territory.  His mother's illness raised the question of how well do we really know a person, inspiring him to examine it through writing this psychological page turner.Tilde in the book and his mother are two very different people with different histories, and the Tilde of his creation has had a far different history as much as Daniel, the narrator/protagonist, is far different from Tom Rob Smith.  He had to set up a deceit for Daniel, providing him with a motivation for keeping secrets from his parents.  One thing that I also remember his saying, it takes him about two years to write a book.  His earlier trilogy required much research, and this one, much soul searching.  It made me almost feel guilty for only taking a few days to read it, sometimes, reading a book in a day that someone has labored over for years.
