Bücher der Reihe Women and the City

The Spring focuses on the lives of three women, Tora, Frida and Ingrid, during the interwar years.

The Angel House is the third in the remarkable series of free-standing novels that cemented Kerstin Ekman's reputation in her native Sweden during the 1970s.

This is a translation of the author's tetralogy, published between 1974 and 1983, that traces the growth and development of a railroad town by portaying working-class women and children, rather than society's movers and shakers.

The final volume in Ekman's quartet of novels depicting life in a Swedish railway town. Ann-Marie searches for identity and meaning in a modern, secularized society. The suggestion that lives attain meaning and even a kind of immortality by being remembered and narrated is central to the book.
