STOCKHOLM | Tuesday 29th August from 18:00
We are proud to host the release party of long-time bookshop friend and blogger Helena Dahlgren's debut novel Orkidépojken in our Stockholm shop! Welcome to this free release event. (Swedish-speaking event, as the book is in Swedish. Details below.)
"Den 29 augusti utkommer min debutroman Orkidépojken på Constant reader/Lava förlag! Min absolut största författaridol Christine Falkenland har läst och kallar den "En mångskiftande och sällsam berättelse om det som gick sönder innan det vuxit klart, om oskuld förlorad, om det onämnbara". Bara DET är ju värt att fira! Nu vill jag att vi samlas efter sommaren, i ett förhoppningsvis augustivarmt Stockholm, och dricker vin, äter snacks och njuter av orkidéer, musik från min spellista Orkidépojken samt ett samtal mellan mig och The English Bookshops ägare (tillika min mångåriga boktipsare och vän) Jan Smedh. Naturligtvis kommer boken finnas till signering och försäljning också. Jag hoppas att vi ses där!” /Helena Dahlgren

While growing up in West Belfast, Sean does everything he’s supposed to do. He works hard, he studies, and he – mostly – stays out of trouble. The thirty-year conflict is over, he’s told, and his future is lit with promise. But when Sean returns home from university, he finds much of the same – the same friends doing the same gear in the same clubs, the same fathers and brothers missing… One night, he assaults a stranger at a party, and everything begins to come undone.
Close to Home begins with this sudden act of violence and expands into a startling portrait of working-class Ireland under the long shadow of the Troubles. // Discuss in the Fiction reading group //

How to put a positive spin on a murder mystery... What happens when a ghostwriter for the rich and famous lands the ultimate gig: writing the memoir of a disgraced presidential candidate? Our witty, nosy narrator arrives at a secluded estate to meet Dorothy Gibson, the fallen political star everyone’s talking about. But when a neighbor turns up dead, the ghostwriter finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery she never saw coming. Add in a secret investigation, a suspiciously handsome man, and a plot twist no one expected – and suddenly, the story she’s writing becomes her own.
Perfect for fans of Knives Out and Agatha Christie, this clever, twisty mystery is full of surprises. // Discuss in the Crime reading group in Göteborg //
