Nikky’s Book
Original Title: Nikes bok
Author: Agnes Lidbeck
Original Publisher: Norstedts, 2021
Genre: Contemporary Fiction

It all starts with a full-on disaster. Three young families, from vastly different backgrounds. Some are beautiful and polished; others relentlessly hungry, with no inclination to hide their claws. And yet they are linked by ties that grow into love, a love rooted in that initial disaster. A novel about the complexity of friendship, the price of loyalty and how life is formed in the fragments of that which was destroyed.

Nikky’s Book is a sweeping novel to live in for a long time, and at the same time a detailed portrait of a time, a place, and the people who shape it, and are shaped by it.
