The Mountain Wanderer

Helena's life has really changed in just a few years. When she stands outside on the farm in Fjällnäs with her dog Selma and looks out over Lake Malmagen, she can hardly believe it's true. She lives in the most beautiful place imaginable, she has her own restaurant and now the cultural barn is also about to be inaugurated. But while she is happy about everything, she thinks about how tired she is, how much time and energy it takes.

An offer comes out of nowhere: A couple who have experience of similar businesses - and a personal connection to Helena's farm - want to buy it from her. Suddenly, she really has to think about what she really wants with her future.

For Kjell, life has been rolling on, always at a fast pace. And surely everything is as it should be? His wife Mona seems to have found a life of her own since her long-standing back problems are gone. And his daughter Louise is going to marry her beloved Henke. He himself will continue at the furniture store as he has always done, what else is he supposed to do? At the same time, something is bothering him. Retirement is approaching, a realization that life is not infinite. How has he really used his days?

While the festivities are succeeding each other, Helena is stressing over everything that needs to be prepared, worrying about her dear Sonja who is getting increasingly tired and is happy about the care that Alex is showing her. But how will she get her life together, and what does she ultimately want to do? Maybe Sonja once again has the solution to everything, is a walk in solitude what she needs to be able to look ahead and find her answers?

Part 5 in the Waffle Hut Series

Reviews: 

"In the fifth and final part about Helena and the waffle hut in the mountains, Härjegård ties together her story in the most beautiful way. Reading the book gives me the same warm feeling as when I sit down and reflect on life with a good friend.
Here we meet many of the characters from previous books, and it becomes a kind of summary of the journey that the main character Helena has made since the first book.
How do you know what you want to spend your time and your life on? That answer is quite deep inside for both Helena and the book's other main character Kjell, (and quite often for me too, if I'm being honest). It's comforting that both eventually find those answers within themselves. Maybe there's hope for me too! " - @Johannajohansson.bookstagram

"This is a book where emotions are torn up and make you think about life's choices. That nagging feeling that you should know what you want... But then comes the relief. The insights. The acceptance. To think a little kinder about yourself and land in a kind of inner peace. And then Sonja - her wise words warm straight to the heart
The books also inspire, both for interior design and cooking, but perhaps most of all to dare to open up and put into words what is chafing inside.
A warm recommendation - the entire series about the Waffle Hut in the Mountains. " - @Hellenvellens_hylla
