Short description
A new novel from the author of the bestselling The Hundred Year Old Man...
Blurb
SUNDAY TIMES NO 1 FICTION BESTSELLER
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE HUNDRED-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED Just because the world ignores you, doesn't mean you can't save it . . .
Nombeko Mayeki was never meant to be a hero. Born in a Soweto shack, she seemed destined for a short, hard life. But now she is on the run from the world 's most ruthless secret service, with three Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer. Oh, and the fate of the King of Sweden - and the world - rests on her shoulders.
As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson's bestselling debut, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations.

'It's "feel-good" set to stun level ' Guardian
'As unlikely and funny as The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared' Observer

Jonas Jonasson, geb. 1962 im schwedischen Växsjö, arbeitete nach seinem Studium in Göteborg als Journalist unter anderem für die Zeitungen Smålandsposten und Expressen. Später gründete er eine eigene Medien-Consulting-Firma. Doch nach 20 Jahren in der Medienwelt verkaufte er alles und zog in den schweizer Kanton Tessin, wo er sich seither mit Blick auf den Luganersee dem Schreiben widmet.
