About the Book

Alfred är endast fem år gammal när hans far dör och modern får den omänskliga uppgiften att ensam driva den lilla gården på Hallandsåsen. Efter avslutad skolgång sätts Alfred på en skräddarutbildning i Helsingborg. Som ung skräddargesäll lockas han av möjligheterna i Amerika.

Året är 1903 när Alfred övertalar sin bror att lämna tryggheten och emigrera tillsammans med honom. I det nya landet kommer han till storslagna platser. Han ställs inför dramatiska händelser i Chicagos smältdegel, guldletande i det arktiska Alaska och ond bråd död på västkusten.

Samtidigt lever Rosalie ett betydligt lugnare liv som hushållerska i Connecticut. Hon har utvandrat från ett enkelt torp på Hallandsåsen och får bekanta sig med miljön kring de fina familjerna i New England.

Skräddare och Äventyrare är en roman baserad på verkliga händelser och historiska fakta. De unga emigranternas öden skildras medryckande i ett sekel som ännu var ungt.

AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION is available: The Swedish Tailor and Adventurer.

"This book caught me from the first page and, after it ended, I still carry it with me in my heart... It is so overwhelming, loving, tragic and completely wonderful! Imagine what life has to give you if you simply dare to take a chance? [...] This book is a real page turner that gives me so much as a reader. Both thanks to the historical facts that are presented before each chapter, and the photos of the main characters and their company, which enhance the storyline." (My.loved.books on Instagram)

ABOUT THE BOOK: Alfred is only five years old when his father dies in 1890. His mother inherits the lonely and difficult task of managing their little farm in Sk ne, in the southern part of Sweden. After finishing school, Alfred is trained to be a tailor in the city of Helsingborg. At the end of his apprenticeship, he is attracted by what he hears about greater opportunities in America.

In 1903 Alfred convinces his brother Martin to leave the safety of Sweden for thrilling experiences and alluring places in America. Alfred is faced with dramatic turmoil in Chicago's ethnic melting pot, he searches for gold in the Alaskan arctic and witnesses the murderous wild west coast.

At the same time, Rosalie lives a much calmer and refined life as a housemaid in Connecticut. She has emigrated from a poor croft, close to where Alfred grew up, to become familiar with the environment around well-off families in New England.

The Swedish Tailor and Adventurer is a historical novel, based on true events and facts. The fates of these young emigrants, Alfred and Rosalie, whose lives eventually intersect, are portrayed in a century that was young and optimistic.
