Nice to meet you, Agneta

Agneta is forty-nine years old. The children only speak up when they want money, the colleagues are absolutely not interested in what Agneta does, what she thinks or wants. Her husband Magnus, a birdwatcher and athlete, believes that the body is a temple and should not be polluted with things like red wine or apricot jam. Fortunately, there is a space behind the freezer in the basement where Agneta can treat herself to marmalade. And then lie in bed, secretly sip wine and watch TV shows about France.

When Agneta sees an ad in the newspaper offering an au pair position for a boy in France, she decides to make a fundamental change. To everyone else' s surprise and his own, he soon finds himself in a deserted square in a small village in Provence, where nothing is as advertised. The adventure can truly begin.

My Name is Agneta is a novel about the courage to step over your shadow, about French cheeses, a monastery full of palm trees, about one sad turtle, and how important it is to keep dancing. A novel from which joy of life and love for people emanates on every page.
