Description

Yesterday's News begins with Agnes, a small-town girl lost in a sea of woe in big city Stockholm. She's been fired by an abusive boss, dumped by an unfaithful boyfriend and victimized by her own optimism. Agnes is depressed, despondent and ready for a change. But as the nature of change dictates, Agnes has no idea how wild a ride she's in for - nor how complete her transformation will be.

Having already touched the hearts and minds of over 800,000 Scandinavian readers, "Yesterday's News is ultimately a feel-good story that is about following and nourishing your dreams," says Ingemarsson. And with a feature film based on Yesterday's News currently in production, what better time for this sensational Swedish story to become accessible to North American readers?

Juicy and satisfying, Yesterday's News is sure to please any book lover looking for the perfect summer read.
