This book tells the story of Anna-Clara and her family in early twentieth-century Sweden. The language reflects the writing style of the 1920s, which can be challenging due to older grammatical structures and specific vocabulary choices. The sentences are generally straightforward, making it a manageable read for intermediate learners. You will encounter themes of domestic life and family dynamics. It is a good choice if you want to practice reading descriptive prose from a different era while following a clear narrative.

Questions about this book

What level of Swedish do I need for this book?

The estimate is B2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.

Is this book really free?

Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.

How does reading with a translation work?

Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.

How long does it take to read?

About 1 h 55 min at a native pace, spread over 36 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
