Gnome reading a book

Nordic Book Club

The monthly Swenson Center book club discusses books on Nordic topics or by Nordic authors.

The center will provide coffee and tea and a welcoming environment. Books chosen are available in Swedish and English, with the discussion in English. Swedish language learners can continue practicing Swedish reading skills while non-Swedish language learners are welcome to read the title in English.

February's book is "Swede Hollow: A Novel" by Ola Larsmo, translated by Tiina Nunnally (Swedish title "Swede Hollow")

"A riveting family saga immersed in the gritty, dark side of Swedish immigrant life in America in the early twentieth century" --from Goodreads
