Love in Europe (Kärlek i Europa)

Birgitta Stenberg

In Love in Europe Birgitta Stenberg writes about the island f Mallorca in the 1950's where bohemians, artists, authors, alcoholics, gays and lesbians from all over the world gathered. The main character Birgitta, is always seeking new experiences while escaping her middle-class upbringing.

 

With humour and with an accurate, laconic prose she openly tells the story about her adventurous life, with a mixture of self irony and straight forwardness.
