Welcome to a book club reading Den som följer en stjärna vänder inte om by Malin Haawind in preparation for the author's appearance at Ystad City Library on March 18th!
In the summer of 1914, cook and shoemaker’s daughter Malin Blomsterberg walks from Skåne to Östergötland. The goal of her journey is Ellen Key's Strand by Lake Vättern, with the intention of staying there. For Malin, the purpose is to be close to the great minds and thinkers, most of all to the author Ellen Key. As she wishes, Malin becomes Ellen's maid, disciple, and friend, secretary, and confidante. But with her deep gratitude also comes the fear of not being good enough, and of losing everything.
Den som följer en stjärna vänder inte om is a moving novel about housekeeper Malin Blomsterberg, who lived alongside the world-famous Ellen Key, but carried within her a world of her own. It is a story about the limits of work and psyche, about class and the longing for belonging at a time when everything is about to change.
