By Malin Karim
Dark humour and a furious passion for storytelling.
I AM WOMAN is a sharp and humouristic novel about a woman who settles the score with her sham of a life and sets off on a secular crusade through Stockholm.
46-YEAR-OLD Hermine has had enough. She has had it up to here with her perfect existence, the husband, two kids, trendy job, her fashionable wardrobe and their beautiful home. Hermine is tired of constantly belittling herself and accommodating to other people’s needs.
SO SHE DECIDED to revolt and set the foundation for a new world order. Within the space of a week she will break each of the seven deadly sins with no thought to the consequences. As soon as she has ticked them off her list things will be different.
WITH DARK HUMOUR, deadly accuracy and a furious passion for storytelling Malin Karim tells the story of an unforgettable journey to liberation.

REVIEWS
Funny, snappy and smart! Read it!
– Simona Ahrnstedt
A book that has its reader alternating between laughter and the deepest anger. A poignant depiction of a woman’s breaking point, the moment when she has finally had enough.
– Camilla Läckberg
I think I’m one of many who long for more descriptions of women who are tired of being used as doormats and simply says fuck it. What will the world look like where women stop taking responsibility and start following their own desires without thinking about the consequences?
– Ystad Allehanda
It may sound crazy and it is. But at the same time comical and quite refreshing. Malin Karim has a humour that shows in the book and the tempo is high.
– Smålandsposten
With dark humour, razor-sharp phrases and a furious joy of storytelling, Malin Karim depicts an unforgettable journey of liberation.
– Höganäs Bokhandel
I have laughed out loud many times as I have read. I can really recommend this to anyone with a pulse that beats a bit too fast who feels like bitchslapping people around them. The book is from a woman’s perspective but works for everyone who feels stressed.
