CAPITAL

KAPITALET – CAPITAL

By Therese Bohman

EMMA WORKS AT a popular preschool in Södermalm, Stockholm, where the food is organic and creativity takes center stage. Alice is a blogger and influencer, with a perfectly curated life that appears flawless from the outside.

WHEN ALICE’S DAUGHTER Stella starts at the preschool, the two women’s paths become increasingly intertwined. Soon, Emma has both the family’s trust and the key to their home, while her relationship with Alice oscillates between contempt and admiration, obsession, and perhaps even infatuation.

THE CLOSER EMMA gets, the more she wants: not the things, not the money, but access. To be the one who sees behind the facade. She has been watching Alice long enough to know where the cracks are.

THERESE BOHMAN’S CAPITAL is a contemporary psychological novel about desire, class, and parasocial relationships – and about how far a person will go to feel seen.
