Her first book in the series about love, food and 30-year old Tessan in the village Rosepike was released in 2012. All have been warmly received by readers and critics alike. Emma Hamberg seeks that beautiful, safe and warm feeling of certainty that everything will turn out well in the end. This is feel-good with characters who have had to struggle in life – and where no one is totally bad, but not wholly good either. And in the end, everyone get some kind of restitution.

Emma Hamberg is married, a mother of three girls and lives with her family in the outskirts of Stockholm.

She is today one of Sweden’s best-selling authors of women’s fiction. In addition, she also writes baking and cooking books and is currently working with a cooking programme for Swedish Television.

Tessan wishes she could get some help. Preferably from someone who doesn’t need paying. Suddenly two people turn up in the village offering exactly what Tessan wants. It’s great, of course, but Tessan can’t really understand why they’re doing this for her. When she finally finds out, her life and the lives of Rosepike’s inhabitants are turned upside down.
