A powerful and uplifting memoir about race, class, friendship, love and what it means to care for one another in an uncaring world.
The International Bestselling Memoir

Will You Care If I Die? is an unforgettable memoir about social class, race, friendship and unexpected love, and a blazingly topical exploration of social polarization and the rise of the far right.

'A raw, intimate story of trust and betrayal' – A. L. Kennedy, The Guardian
'It's heartbreaking. It's scary. It's beautiful' – Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove

In Sweden, where children murder children and where gun violence is the worst in Europe, Nicolas Lunabba's job as a social organizer with Malmö's underclass requires firm boundaries and emotional detachment. But all that changes when he meets Elijah – an unruly teenage boy of mixed heritage whose perilous future reminds Nicolas of his own troubled and violent past.

Allowing Elijah into his home and then into his heart, Nicolas crosses one of his own red lines. With the odds stacked against them, and completely unprepared for the journey he and Elijah now set off on together, can Nicolas keep Elijah safe from harm and steer him towards a better future?

Written as a letter to Elijah, Will You Care If I Die? tells Nicolas and Elijah’s story – and asks us to reimagine what it means to care for one another in an uncaring world.

Translated from the Swedish by Henning Koch

Nicolas Lunabba is one of the most influential voices in the Swedish debate regarding young people at risk of spiralling into violence and crime in neglected areas of the country. He runs Helamalmö, an organization committed to social justice, which aims to create a sense of safety and stability for the marginalized. In 2022 Lunabba was awarded the Swedish Martin Luther King prize for his work. He also has an honorary doctorate in social work from Malmö University. Will You Care If I Die? is his first book.
