Let me Tell you Everything

First part in a new series - The Island of Secrets.

Ulrica has decided to spend the holidays on Ven, the idyllic island between Sweden and Denmark. In her bag, she has an old postcard with a mallow flower on it, which she knows connects her to a dark history on the island. In the house above lives Bea, whose life has stopped. On the radio, Bea hears a scientist talking about how all people carry thirteen secrets, five so secret that we never tell anyone. When she meets Ulrica, it's something that makes Bea wonder if the tourist is really there for the beautiful nature or if it's something else entirely that brought her there. For both women, life has been turned upside down, but perhaps a voice from the past can lead them on new paths.

"Friendship, warmth, compassion and glimpses of humor characterize the relationships and contribute to the hope for a better future that rounds off the story. This is a warm and exciting relationship novel with excellent environmental descriptions and good language. 5 out of 5 ”BTJ library services  no. 10, lecturer Helene Ehriander

 

"A book that touches, a book about relationships that rub, about not daring to lift the lid and really feel all those troublesome feelings. Let Me Tell You Everything has a rich gallery of characters and the women in the story make an inner and outer journey that can inspire others to dare to feel, achieve change, break patterns and go their own way" - Ellinor Wikman, author
