Sometimes, a single day can hold a whole life.

The 12th of August 2019, Viola receives an unexpected call from Lilly, the girl next door who was once her best friend. Now they’re both in their eighties and Lilly is on her deathbed. Life separated them in their youth, but they never stopped missing each other.

Sofia Lundberg’s heart-warming and wrenching novel, Like a Feather in the Wind, chronicles Viola’s and Lilly’s lives by visiting them on the same, significant date, from the 1950s to the present. When Viola and her daughters rush to Paris to see Lilly one last time, the question that’s haunted Viola for all those years is finally answered.

Like a Feather in the Wind is a tale of undying friendship, love and jazz. It is Sofia Lundberg’s fourth novel.

David Sundin’s immeasurably popular The Book That Did Not Want To Be Read is No. 1 also on week 12’s official Swedish bestseller list for children’s books.

Lisbet lives with her granny the Samba King and the stern pirate cat Sixten in an ordinary house on an ordinary street. But beneath the ordinary surface, there’s more to the story: the Samba King is a former secret agent that holds the world record in just about anything, if you ask her. Lisbet loves living with her granny – it’s a riot! But sometimes the Samba King gets to be a bit too much even for Lisbet, making her think that it would be nice to have someone around that’s more like herself. Then one day a postcard arrives, welcoming Lisbet to school. She’ll finally start first grade.

The news has the Samba King acting as if someone has just died: School means the end of summers as they know them and granny fears the dull classes will take Lisbet’s imagination away forever, making her just like everyone else. Together they decide to do as many crazy antics as possible during this last summer of freedom. Secretly, though, Lisbet is rather excited about starting school and finally making a friend of her own…

Lisbet and the Samba King and The School of Hard Knocks are the two first installments in the hilarious, exuberant and norm-creative chapter book series that asks the question: “Do you have the right to be you – even if that means just being ordinary?”

Hear the creators Oskar Söderlund, Jens Lapidus, Jesper Ganslandt and actor Evin Ahmad discuss the anticipated Netflix series Snabba Cash in this exclusive interview.

Snabba Cash premieres on Netflix April 7.
