    • Live your life to the fullest...

      What a beautiful story of friendship. I literally finished reading it in 2 days, I simply could not stop thinking about the characters long after the story was finished. It is haunting and yet, so moving and joyous. The Swedish landscape and the seasons will enchant you as the painful memories unfold between Astrid (an old lady next door), and Veronika (the young writer with secrets of her own). Both women struggle with loss, loneliness, and pain inflicted by men. Astrid's character is very charming and wise, yet disturbing as well. One wonders how she could have chosen to live her life like that...It was Veronika that "woke her up" from her stupor and showed her that life was worth living again. Astrid's deep secret on Midsummer's Eve will blow your mind. Very well told for a debut novel. ...

    • Mesmerizing, beautifully written, thought provoking

      Outstanding meditative novel on love & loss & an unexpected friendship that develops between two women who venture out of the safety of their routines & comfort zones. This story will linger & stay with you forever. Excellent read . . .

      Wonderful sense to place and time. A little confused however, by the motivations behind Astrid's grand secret. Any body else who can clarify?
