Book of the month - Mars 2009

Siri Hustvedt - Sorrows of an American is our book of the month for Mars.

Typhoon

Charles Cumming is part of a new generation of British writers of spy fiction. Typhoon is his latest excellent book. Hong Kong & China, MI6 & CIA, love & betrayal, the brits & the yanks. Great read. And don't miss out on his earlier books! Think early Le Carré.

Matala

Craig Holden is one of my favourite writers; his language is finely honed, his stories sleek and brief. It's a joy to read a new one and this one about an american backpacker who mingles with the wrong people is a treat. The question is how innocent the innocent truly are... Gorgeous cover too!

The Twilight Time (Anna Cameron #1)

Great first book from a new Scottish crime writer. Set in Glasgow with a strong complex female lead character, Sergeant Anna Cameron.
– I really enjoyed this and can't wait to read the next one.

Dead Lovely

Another Glaswegian noir! Pitch black humour, fantastic story of social worker/single mum who stumbles into an amazing amount of violence and moral turpitude... This was so much fun to read. Start now!

The English Bookshop in Stockholm Old Town - a new bookshop

The English Bookshop sig hangin over the new bookshop in Stockholm Old Town

[ UPDATE June 8th, 2015: After seven amazing years in Gamla stan/Old Town, we are now in a bigger shop in Södermalm's SoFo district, on Södermannagatan 22. ]

Located in the Stockholm Old Town, at Lilla Nygtan 11, the bookshop carry pretty much the same range in Stockholm as in the Uppsala shop, except for SF & Fantasy.

You will find the same welcoming atmosphere here, as the Uppsala English Bookshop is famous for: an interior jampacked with exciting books, relaxing chairs and a dedicated staff. We already love this new place in the Old Town of Stockholm and hope you will too!
