"And there Longing over Ådala sails up and settles right in the top tier of my list of 2022's best feel-good books

This book definitely belongs to the "books-that-you-neither-want-to-put-down-or-read-out" genre.

I have longed for a long time to be able to return to the nice community in the allotment area Ådala and I have perhaps most of all longed for Ragnar, this good old man with a curious and open mind and with his heart in the right place.

The book has vivid environmental descriptions and very interesting characters who become like good friends. The book also describes relationships across generational boundaries in such a beautiful and touching way.

The book contains a lot of dark and difficult emotions such as sadness, betrayal and longing and also addresses topics such as co-dependency and prejudice.

But the light almost always wins over the darkness, thank God

This book has everything I could want from a feel-good book, so heartwarming and nice

I'm already looking forward to the fall when the next part in the series comes!” - bland_bocker_och_tekoppar Instagram
