🐾Happy Publication Day!🦎

THE WORLD OF WANDERING ANIMALS by Nina Burton is officially out in Sweden today, published by Albert Bonniers Förlag.

The August Prize winning author of THE GUTENBERG GALAXY and NOTES FROM A SUMMER COTTAGE is back with a new exceptional nature memoir.

With inspiring curiosity, Nina brings us on an expedition filled with personal musings woven together with scientific exploration. Nina reminds us of everything we risk losing while the world is rapidly becoming inhabitable for so many species beyond our own.

We are thrilled that THE LAST BUTTERFLY by Nima Hasan is officially out in Sweden today, published by Albert Bonniers Förlag.

THE LAST BUTTERFLY is a remarkable collection of poems by Palestinian author Nima Hasan, written in Gaza.

Nima is writing straight from the critical situation in Gaza, where she is living in an encampment with her children after their house was destroyed by the bomb raids.

Since autumn 2023, Nima has been posting poems on social media. She writes in a light, unpretentious tone, but with razor-sharp, tumultuous imagery which directly describes the present catastrophe and longingly recalls another existence.

Nima's poems are not a description of war - they are written while the bombs are falling. How she manages to write with such poetic presence under these conditions is in itself astonishing. Her literary precision is utterly captivating.

Swedish translator Jasim Mohamed translated the poems as soon as they appeared on his screen. Hasan and Mohamed have since worked closely together to compile this book - the poems have not been published in Arabic, the Swedish translation is an original work.

We are proud to share Nima's words and hope her poems will reach readers
across the world.

The unveiling of an oil painting becomes the catalyst for the breakup of a group of longtime friends. Was anything ever as it seemed?

THE ART OF DISAPPEARING is set against shifting seasons and a backdrop of art studios, parks, and decaying churches. The novel captures the fragile beauty of starting over when one is no longer young—but not
yet resigned.

Through gentle observations and tactile detail, the novel paints a world where every object has a story, and every silence holds a reckoning.

We are thrilled that THE MERCIFUL KILLER by Patrik Svensson is officially out in Sweden today, published by Albert Bonniers Förlag.

The author of the overwhelmingly successful debut THE GOSPEL OF EELS and THE BLUE MARBLE (2022) is back with his third book:

THE MERCIFUL KILLER is a meticulous examination of a harrowing human fate, but also a searing depiction of a community resigned to its place in the world — a place they knew to be both predetermined and unchanging.

📚 Just landed! 📚

We are so proud to have our hands on the English edition of Gun-Britt Sundström’s ENGAGEMENT from Penguin Classics, beautifully translated by Kathy Saranpa. It will be published 3/7.

The rights have also been sold for publication in Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Norwegian and Polish. 🌟

ENGAGEMENT is a masterful mordern classic, set in Stockholm during the 60’s and 70’s, a time of change when the nuclear family is questioned. The young couple Martina and Gustav try to break the mould and make their relationship work. They give up and leave each other, but always seem to come back to one another. Still, Martina discovers how difficult it can be to live without a ”husband” when everyone around you is creating their own families and coupling up. First published in 1976, ENGAGEMENT has been re-discovered by recent generations who can recognise themselves in the modern themes in this stark and unromantic love story.

We are so excited that THE STORY OF ABBA: MELANCHOLY UNDERCOVER by Jan Gradvall is officially out in the US today, published by our friends at St. Martin’s Press. 🇺🇸

ABBA remains one of the world’s most famous and beloved bands of all time. It doesn’t matter that over 40 years have passed since their infamous breakup. Somewhere in the world, there is always an ABBA song playing.

With unique access to the four secretive members of ABBA for the past decade, Jan Gradvall has written an unusual biography. Based on openhearted interviews, he sheds new light on some of the most memorable moments and lets us know what happened off-stage.

The title comes from a quote by Benny Andersson, commenting on ABBA’s music: ’Even the happiest songs have a melancholic base. We made melancholy undercover.’

🌟 Rights sold! 🌟 Maria Adolfsson’s TRUTH

🌟 Rights sold! 🌟

Maria Adolfsson’s TRUTH OR DARE is a witty and intense relationship novel about what happens when a woman who has always done right by everyone has her life turned upside down, and decides to start doing right by herself. Now this wonderful novel will reach readers in Estonia and Finland! 🇪🇪 🇫🇮

Here are some review highlights:

💬 ”In addition to an atmospheric scene where lightning strikes, there is a great drive and many clever turns in this story about getting revenge, and justice.” - DN

💬 ”It is a joy to follow the main character’s journey from being shattered to being satisfied, and dramaturgically the story is full of turns. […] Many themes are covered on the 300 or so pages - parents who cannot cope with parenthood, friendships that stay intact in spite of great strain, the knowledge that you can never truly know another person, and lies that are told to protect yourself. Maria Adolfsson successfully brings this all together, and now we have to wait and see if this is a temporary step away from crime literature. I would gladly read more books by her in this genre.” - Sydsvenskan

We are thrilled to share that @kickisehlstedt_ ‘BOHUS MURDERS’ series is now sold to Ambo Anthos in The Netherlands! 🇳🇱 ⭐

Previously also sold to Germany, DEAD WATERS, the first book in the series, was published at the beginning of the year and has taken both readers and critics by storm. Kicki’s masterfully blends psychological depth with an atmospheric depiction of the Swedish West Coast, crafting a gripping mystery in which the past and present collide. Her prose is sharp, her characters are richly developed, and the suspense is relentless.
