About

“Is it stupid to get into thick, good books so early in life that you can’t understand them? I don’t think so. You enter a fascinating world and can come back to it and figure out a lot you didn’t understand. Each re-reading opens new rooms in the story. And it opens, at best, unfamiliar rooms within yourself.”

It started with the childhood home’s bookshelves and Katrineholm’s city library. In 24 chapters, Kerstin Ekman conveys the intense experiences that reading has given her and talks about books she has come to love as friends and comfort – and how reading and writing go together.
