In this wonderful book set on the small Swedish island of Oland, old Gerlof decides that he's had enough of assisted living, in which his fellow residents' main activity is waiting to see who will be next to be wheeled out on a stretcher to the hospital or funeral home. Eventually he persuades the authorities to let him go and live in his old cottage in a small hamlet near the titular quarry. Very few inhabitants remain, but Gerlof is happy to sit in the garden and watch the approaching spring, thinking about the past while he reads his late wife's secret diaries found hidden behind the stove. Gerlof's wife died 20 years ago, at that time telling him about the diaries but asking him to destroy them without reading them, so Gerlof feels a sense of guilt at disobeying her wishes - but as we know he is an insatiably curious person.
