DESCRIPTION :

Jonas Jonasson is back with another irresistible adventure, this time set in nineteenth century Sweden.

After his fathers death is caused by the greedy and cunning Count Bielkegren, Algot Olsson is left with nothing to his name, except for a potato field and a homemade still to make liquor. But Algot is smart, ambitious and resourceful, and its not long before he masters the lucrative art of distilling spirits. When his schnapps become a sensation, he finds his success once again attracts the envy of the Count, who will do everything in his power to sabotage Algots budding business.

Thankfully, however, Algot isnt alone. With the support of his friend Helmut, a Bavarian printer with a flexible relationship to the truth, and Helmuts daughter Anna Stina, who is as strong-willed as she is charming, he might just have the creativity and the courage to outsmart the Counts schemes once and for all and perhaps theres even time for romance along the way.

Full of sharp humour, wonderfully absurd twists and memorable characters, Algot, Anna Stina and the Water of Life is an irresistible adventure of friendship, love and ingenuity.
