This book felt very special to me, I think it's because I have dealt a few rounds of burnout and loneliness and am kind of also longing for this alternative life closer to nature and community. I could recognize parts of myself in several of the characters. I rarely read books twice but I'm sure i will revisit this one a few times! 
The Swedish audio book was also great, with a slow pace and a lovely northern accent so you really get a feel of the stories location!
And if you enjoy Norlin's writing you should check out her music as well: Hello Saferide (English), Säkert! (Swedish)

En stark bok. Ibland mörk men med humor och ömhet. Ställer viktiga frågor om livet och vad det är att leva som en människa i samhället.
