Autumn Evenings
Autumn Evenings
Callum BloodworthAfter a tumultuous summer marked by the power struggle for the chairman position between Stina and Bengt, the crispy autumn evenings are finally here, and the grounds around the pink house are filled with red and yellow leaves.
Newly appointed chairman Stina Nilsson faces her greatest challenge to date. With her days numbered and a packed diary, she is thrown into a tangle of secret letters, unruly sisters, and unexpected chaos.
But Stina is not the only one wrestling with life’s trials. Behind closed doors, Hakan and Zahra whose dreams have just come true with their baby bliss, struggle with new parenthood, and realize that dreams are not always what they seem to be. All the while Bengt and his daughter Frida tiptoe around sensitive subjects. Topics that one of them prefers to avoid and the other secretly works on with the help of choir singing. The question is whether they have time to talk, or sing, out – before it’s too late.
Alice Flood is still seeking answers about her mum, and who sent Alice the note which led her to the collective in the first place. She starts to suspect that Stina may know more than she’s letting on, but what is she hiding?
Autumn Evenings is a heart-warming feel-good novel about having the courage to let go, and to find strength and love in a community.
