The Westerberg Family Saga
1950s Sweden. Behind the walls of a merchant’s house in Ystad, the Westerberg family maintain a careful façade of success and propriety.
Through the eyes of the women connected to the Westerbergs – daughters, maids, neighbours and outsiders – the novels reveal how love, guilt and ambition intertwine across a decade of change. Each story stands alone yet deepens the portrait of a family and a society caught between tradition and modernity.
With warmth and finely drawn historical detail, the series evokes the rhythms of post-war Sweden: summer light over Ystad’s rooftops, quiet betrayals behind lace curtains, and women finding their voices in a world that rarely listens.

The Cottages of Boklyckan
Nestled among the forests of southern Sweden lies Boklyckan, a small lakeside community where summer cottages hold as many stories as the people who come to stay. Some residents live there all year, others only for the season, but everyone arrives carrying something they hope to leave behind.
Each book introduces a new visitor seeking rest, renewal or a way forward. Among quiet paths, red-painted cabins and calm waters, friendships grow, hearts mend and lives begin to change in unexpected ways.
Warm, human and full of Scandinavian atmosphere, The Cottages of Boklyckan is a series about the power of small places and the people who find each other there.
