Honestly, I don't usually read books by swedish working-class authors (I think I got seriously damaged by trying to read Moberg's "Utvandrarna" at the age of 11), but I had to read one for my swedish classes so I chose this one.
I found it interesting and I cared about the characters, yes. But I probably wont read anything more from this author.

If you're interested in the swedish working class during the beginning of the 20th century, then I would recommend this. It's quite interesting from a feministic point of view as well. It's really a good book, just not the kind of litterature I read by my own volition.
