winner book Kalbadrskan among the mountainsReleased by Printz Publishing in April 2022. Writer Karin Härjegård is a priest at the Church of Sweden in Ur and lives in David.

Here is the jury’s justification for the award:

“The feeling of happiness this year is as clear as a mountain stream and as delicious as a waffle made of real cream. Karin Härjegård takes us on a journey through life at the border between despair and hope, fearing neither seriousness nor laughter. The story surprises and finds new paths that go beyond those well familiar to the genre. A relationship novel about finding yourself where food and environments are important components. The dynamic language, with many expressive details, elegantly pushes the plot forward and creates a powerful presence.”
