Therese has just left the safety of her childhood home to begin a new life at Stockholm University. Her days are filled with nervousness, expectation, and loneliness. She rents a small room in the outskirts of the city, tries to carve out a place for herself in its vastness, and feels invisible in the lecture halls. Everything changes when she meets Andreas. He dresses in black and carries himself with a blase confidence. He also opens the door to another Stockholm, a world of literary fanzines, smoke-filled cafes, and late nights in an apartment on Kammakar Street. In the quiet, understated mystery between the city's crowded throughfares and Kammakar Street's desolation, a friendship begins to take shape, one that will come to define her life in many ways.

Reviews for My Street: A Christmas Story

Praise for Andromeda: “The subtly gorgeous prose highlights the affection between two like-minded individuals, both of whom are trying to preserve what they value the most. This is perfect for devouring in a single afternoon.” —Publishers Weekly “A confident, erudite novel, comfortable with developing at its own pace…Deeply provocative in its quiet contemplation.” —Kirkus Reviews “Andromeda is the best kind of company—a book I kept longing to return to, full of ideas and emotion.” —Julia May Jonas, author of Vladimir
