We are delighted to share that Summer at Villa Hilda by Michaela von Kügelgen has been shortlisted as Feelgood Book of the Year in Sweden.
Each year the Swedish Feelgood Festival jury receives nominations for the Feelgood Book of the Year from publishers, and from these a shortlist of outstanding feelgood books is picked by readers. The winner is then picked by an independent jury, and announced at the Feelgood Festival in Sigtuna on August 29th.
In Summer at Villa Hilda readers are taken out in the Stockholm archipelago, where the island of Halsterö lies. Journalist Thomas and former celebrity chef Louise travel there to work at the Villa Hilda guesthouse. They are both broken after many setbacks and are hoping for a fresh start. But setting up a summer paradise is not as easy as one might think, not even on the idyllic Halsterö island.
One day Louise stumbles across a collection of old love letters. Who wrote them, and what stories does Villa Hilda hide in its dusty attic? And how will Thomas manage to take care of his dementia-stricken mother while setting up an archipelago guesthouse?
