Our latest release is Blunda och räkna till hundra, a Swedish novel by Pernilla Soland.

This book is based on a true story, and ut takes place on the island of Gotland. We get to follow the parents’ struggle for their beloved daughter Linnea, who didn’t recover after a virus she had contracted at 13 years of age. Rather, she got considerably worse, but her doctor still said that it would soon pass. Instead, she becomes seriously ill for months on end. What then follows is an odyssey of grief and challenges, mainly from the mother’s viewpoint. The family are forced to navigate the failings and shortcomings of medicine and the welfare system. Left to their own devices, they are grasping for hope, acceptance, and understanding.

This novel may later be translated into English if time and resources permit.
