Wonderful Women by the Sea
ABOUT
THE BOOK
Wonderful Women by the Sea tells the story of two would-be starlets in an age of consumerism and glamorous one-night stands. Spending their days sunbathing and their evenings at cocktail parties they seem to embody the American “good life”. But dark undercurrents threaten to undermine the sanctity of their domestic oasis by the sea and the women can’t avoid the social and political upheaval that explodes across the world in the turbulent summer of 1968. Monika Fagerholm was born and lives in Helsinki, Finland. Wonderful Women by the Sea is her first novel.
Original title in Swedish Underbara kvinnar vid watten published by Söderström & Co (1994)
