L’anno in cui ho incontrato 70 sconosciuti e consigliato loro il libro ideale. Nanako è in piena crisi esistenziale. Separata da poco dal marito, non ha più una casa: vaga tra capsule hotel, internet café aperti fino a tardi e super sento, i bagni pubblici a pagamento. Il lavoro non va meglio: all’eccentrica libreria Village Vanguard di Tōkyō, di cui è direttrice, le vendite languono. Disillusa e disamorata, Nanako si rende conto di quanto la sua vita sia diventata angusta, senza rapporti personali al di là dei colleghi e senza prospettive. C’è solo una passione che le permette di andare avanti: quella per i libri.

Säsong 2, avsnitt 1 ”Gammal skit i nya rum”: Johanna njuter av kärlekslunk med Mårten, tills han plötsligt bestämmer sig för att ta nästa steg. Samtidigt försöker Nina hitta fotfästet efter uppbrottet och tar tag i sitt nya liv, beväpnad med tapetkniv, vodka och en glöggfest på gång. Men i Hallavik går renoveringar–och relationer–sällan enligt plan.

A daughter and mother: two women miles, years, and dreams apart. One defies traditions and expectations. The other conforms to them, even in a new land. Their emotional distance grows while the daughter, now a wife and mother herself, comes to better understand the woman she’s become and why, as she ruminates on inherited trauma, the need to forgive, and the lengths she’ll go to free herself from the past.

Motherhood isn’t always what’s expected. One woman may delight in navigating the unknowable, while another may look to the past to chart the course ahead. Still another may have the urge to redefine the relationship between mother and child. For each, the journey can be heartwarming and heartbreaking, ever changing and challenging. In these provocative stories, acclaimed authors probe the growing pains that can change the lives of both mother and child in ways they never imagined.
