The Queen of Åre

At the end of the 19th century, Kristina Hansson comes to Åre. It is a small village, but Åreskutan has started to attract people. The number of air guests is increasing. Kristina realizes that there is a need for a hotel in the village, and decides to have the village's very first hotel built.

But the decision arouses great skepticism among the local residents. Will she, a young woman from Skåne, really manage to run a hotel? And how does she think it will be profitable? She faces constant setbacks and questioning, and when she is finally invited to a grand opening of the hotel, she has no idea that the struggle has only just begun.

The Queen of ​Åre is one of Karin Härjegård's earlier books, which is now finally available in audio. The book is part of the stand-alone series Women through History
