We're thrilled to announce the first selection for our Life She Loves Book Club - 'Astrid and Veronika' by Linda Olsson. This beautifully written novel takes us on a journey to the heart of Sweden, where two women from different generations and cultures form an unlikely friendship.

'Astrid and Veronika' is a story of love, loss, and companionship that unfolds against the backdrop of the stunning Swedish countryside. As we delve into the lives of Astrid, an elderly recluse with a hidden past, and Veronika, a young writer grappling with a personal tragedy, we'll explore themes of friendship, grief, and the healing power of nature.

But our journey won't stop at the pages of the book. As we read, we'll also be exploring the culinary delights that are woven into the narrative. From Swedish pancakes and strawberry jam to smoked trout and steamed potatoes, we'll bring the flavors of Sweden into our kitchens.

We invite you to join us as we embark on this literary and culinary journey. Share your thoughts, insights, and even your cooking experiences as we navigate through the book. Whether you're a seasoned book club member or this is your first time, we welcome your contributions and look forward to a rich and engaging discussion.

So, grab your copy of 'Astrid and Veronika', get comfortable, and let's start reading!

Happy reading (and cooking)!
