Bookquest: Stockholm, Sweden

8/24/2013 - Hedengrens Bokhandel


The Saga of Gösta Berling, by Selma Lagerlöf

Among many good choices, I picked up Selma Lagerlöf's book. The woman behind the counter had read all three of the books I was considering, and she recommended Selma Lagerlöf's as her favorite. It has a "great story," "deep characters," and the writer was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature. Hard to go wrong.

The bookstore was one of the best I've visited so far. It was hard to choose among its English language options. It had a deep nonfiction section in English. It had 5 books on Ingmar Bergman, so I couldn't even choose which of those looked best.
