Here we meet Tove, who, after her mother’s death, tries to find a daily routine and a way forward in the house by the coast. Grief is present, but through nature and unexpected encounters, a new strength emerges. And when Tove finds a mysterious old diary in the attic, her own life becomes intertwined with that of her relative Märta, whose dramatic fate in late 19th-century America sheds light on questions of heritage, courage and belonging.

LOUISE STRÖMBERG WARMLY depicts friendship between generations, the cracks in life and the courage in daring to start over.

WHERE THE WIND DANCES is a warm and atmospheric novel about loss and hope, about women who carry both pain and strength – and about never being completely alone as long as we feel the wind dancing.

“This is without a doubt Strömberg’s best book to date […] There’s an authenticity to her writing, a way of portraying life in which happiness is never perfect, but always a little frayed at the edges. […] I feel an immediate connection with Tove. And I love all the women in Arkösund, the way they are allowed to be both strong and fragile at the same time.”
