Majgull Axelsson

Bestselling author Majgull Axelsson's new novel, about "a mother who isn't a mother", runs the gamut from thriller to romance and readily retains the reader’s attention throughout.

It was with good reason that the publisher decided to send a copy of the novel to the leaders of all the Swedish political parties.

This novel confirms Majgull Axelsson’s position as one of Sweden’s most interesting and accomplished contemporary storytellers.

In Majgull Axelsson's latest novel, an aging psychologist feels a surprising affinity for an abused teenager who enters her office with a combative demeanour and an armour of foul language.
