Synopsis
This surprise international bestseller details the struggles of a pair of lonely Swedes who try to overcome their own insecurities in order to build a relationship. Benny is a plebian farmer with an archaic notion of women's roles in society, and Shrimp is a widowed librarian with a taste for high culture. Their initial encounter in a graveyard sparks a series of sexual trysts, but they both harbor illusory expectations of how the other should behave. Eventually, it seems that the physical magnetism between their bodies will no longer be enough to overcome the resistant forces between their minds, but they stumble upon an intriguing compromise which may allow them to romantically coexist.

Publisher's Note
Shrimp--an intelligent, tidy, widowed librarian--meets Benny--a gentle, overworked milk farmer who fears becoming the village's Old Bachelor--prompting an unlikely love that should not be as complicated as it seems. Original.

Industry Reviews
"At first, [Benny and Shrimp] find their differences delightful and sweet; but eventually those differences become real and hard. Although they are "like chalk and cheese," they keep trying to find a way to mix. How they manage it in the end is ingenious and unusual, and, in its own way, satisfying."

"It's easy to see why Mazetti's offbeat love story about a widowed Swedish librarian and a Swedish farmer...has become an international hit....Here is a romance novel for the hip and smart--a zingy, gently funny ode to sex and love and the emotional awakening of a self-contained man and woman..."
