DÄR HAVET GLITTRAR – WHERE THE OCEAN GLITTERS
By Louise Strömberg
AFTER EXPERIENCING BOTH burnout and heartbreak, Lilly accepts a summer job at the “Enjoyerie” retirement home in Arkösund. The work and the fellowship with her colleagues change her and slowly she finds her way back to herself.
AT THE SAME time, a deep friendship develops between her and the mysterious Margareta. Why does the old woman always keep to herself and gaze dreamily out to sea? What is it that haunts her from her past? Suddenly, Lilly is drawn into an epic adventure that begins in 1940s Sweden and eventually leads her to Bali.
WHERE THE OCEAN GLITTERS is the second, standalone instalment in Louise Strömberg’s beloved feel-good series set in Arkösund. A moving novel about how friendship can arise where you least expect it and about finding the love that changes everything.

REVIEWS
Wow, Louise has done it again! I really like this book. I am quickly drawn into the story and don’t want to put it down. […] Louise is really good at describing settings. She captures both Arkösund and Bali in a way that not only allows me to see the places in front of me, but also to smell the sea and experience the atmosphere. Her descriptions make me feel like both an observer and a part of the story, which deepens the reading experience and makes it even more powerful.

Wow, what a book! So moving. So beautiful! No words can do this reading experience justice! […] Written with such a gentle hand, with a feeling for the innermost essence of human beings. Just read it! You will embark on a journey through feelings of sorrow and joy. I can guarantee that you will be moved! It’s about listening inwardly, to the small, subtle signs of the universe. […] Just when I thought I had no more tears left, more came. It’s been a long time since I cried so much while reading a book.
