How the Swedes invented dreaming

The new Jonasson with a satire from the provinces: a German entrepreneur and a determined mayor from Sweden win everyone's hearts. Everywhere in the world, people blissfully sleep in the coziest beds from the brand Traumbett, made in Hamburg, Germany. Everywhere? No, the company has yet to establish itself in Sweden. The new owner, Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr., is eager to change that. And if it were up to Julia, the mayor of Halstaholm in the Swedish province, Traumbett would have already settled there along with its 800 new jobs. To convince the Germans of the advantages of her hometown, Julia resolutely launches a charm offensive like never seen before in Halstaholm: from the hastily renamed Angela Merkel roundabout, of course adorned with black-red-gold plants, to a newly established German school led by three elderly spinster ladies, and even to the repurposed beer hall Badehaus – the swimming pool has been empty for years anyway! Everyone must get on board. Because Julia always gets what she sets her mind to. A persistence that also impresses the German Traumbett boss Konrad Jr. Charming, fast-paced, and original as always – a new Jonasson, lovingly and beautifully crafted!
