In this whimsical tale from the bestselling author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared, a small, struggling town in Sweden, Halstaholm, finds itself on the brink of revival as it vies for the attention of a successful mattress company owned by Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr. District councillor Julia Bäck launches an imaginative campaign to attract the business, transforming local landmarks and rallying the community for what could mean 800 new jobs. As her clever strategies impress the German entrepreneur, Julia must navigate the unexpected complications that come with her ambitious plans.
