Nattavaara
by ENGSTRÖM & RICHERT
Erik finds his parents dead in the sauna. Since the neighbours in the village fear a new epidemic Erik is banned, and with his little sister Sofia in tow he is forced on a venturesome ramble towards Kiruna (in the North part of Sweden). There is the jarl – and Erik’s only chance to get back the farm. The crofter Marja, previously middle manager in the home-help service, is captured by a gang of criminals who are ravaging the small villages in the Norrbotten county. At the same time her husband Mårten has gone missing without a trace. Now she has to court her warders and become one of them to survive. Nattavaara is the first thrilling installment in the trilogy about Nordmark, a grandiose vision about a near future where climate catastrophes, pandemics and financial crises have torn the society apart. Norrbotten has broken free from Sweden and is ruled by an autocratic jarl. In the countryside there’s famine and the people are constantly fighting for survival, in a world where compassion and ruthlessness can be the difference between life and death.

by Karin Brunk Holmqvist
The two Svensson sisters have both passed the 70-mark and lead a quiet and content life in their childhood home in Borrby, Østerlen, Sweden. When the businessman, Alvar Klemens, buys the house next door as his summer residence, new winds start to blow. The two sisters who are normally extremely prudent when it comes to money, feel the need for a make-over to catch the attention of the attractive neighbour. One day the sisters witness how a male cat practically throws himself on a female cat after he has eaten some of the flowers in Alvar’s garden. Tilda and Elida now hatch a brilliant plan which will enable them to fund their need for new acquisitions. And from that day, their life never becomes the same again.
