More happy news for Nordin Agency’s author Simona Ahrnstedt and her novel Die Erbin who came in as the bronze medalist in LovelyBooks.de‘s reader’s choice award Die Leserpreis. The book, published by Egmont Lyx Verlag in October this year, was chosen from hundreds of others in the category for best romance and Simona is the only non-english speaking author in the top five. Quite a feat of strength for our Queen of Romance.

ALL IN shortlisted for Best German Romance Novel of 2015
Nordin Agency is thrilled to announce that All In by Scandinavia’s very own queen of romance, Simona Ahrnstedt, has been shortlisted for LovelyBooks.de’s ”Leserpreis” (reader’s choice award) in the category of Best Romance Novel.
Die Erbin, as the book is called in German, is a suspenseful and steamy novel set in the fast-paced Stockholm Finance world where venture capitalist David Hammer and corporate banker Natalia De La Grip’s paths irreversibly cross. The book was released in German on October 1st this year, by Egmont Lyx, and has already been reprinted three times in less than two months. Votes can still be submitted until November 24th if you go to LovelyBooks.de. The Gold, Silver and Bronze winners will be announced on Thursday the 26th of November
Der Leserpreis has been awarded six times already and is the biggest reader’s choice award in the German-speaking region. So to have a Swede competing for the title is a great honor.
Good luck Simona and Die Erbin!

Juries’ motivation is as follows: One year. The year when Ester and Isak meet. The year when Isak’s brother, Anton, is lured into a world of hate, swastikas and violence. The year when a boy is murdered. Jessica Schiefauer’s novel explains how easy it is to be influenced, the desire to belong. But it is just as much a story about love, a love so immersive that it becomes destructive. The prose is poetic, condensed and flows like the water that becomes a spectator to the tragedy unfolding. It is a carefully polished prose – to document this horrific chain of events.
