As late summer turns into autumn, an embracing calm settles over Nice. Julia has longed for her Riviera life, now she will be here for three months and enjoy yoga at dawn and croissants for breakfast with the turquoise Mediterranean as a backdrop. But soon both Julia and her friends Michelle and Lisa encounter unexpected challenges that turn life on its head.

Julia is torn between her different worlds and struggles with both financial problems and love worries. How will she dare to trust her inner compass and start living life to the fullest? She feels happy with Johan, but he wants more from the relationship and it becomes a challenge to maintain the glow that has been lit as Julia spends more and more time on the Riviera.

The books revolve around Julia and her friends in Nice, where together they explore how to let love in and blossom again after various life crashes. A new, long-awaited novel by Carina Nunstedt that makes the reader dream away and feel hope that we all, like the mimosa, can find the strength to let in the light.

“A finely tuned novel about female friendship and how female power radiates together when life crashes. It feels like I am landing softly in the arms of good old friends. A book about the difficulties in life and about the strength to get around, over and past it.” -@ordtoka_boktoka Bookstagram

There is something special about the language in these books, I think, everything feels very alive, both the characters and the environments. You see, hear and feel what Carina Nunstedt writes about.”
