I’m learning sounds, laying wide awake on different sofas every night. I know the difference between a well built wall and broken strength. I’m learning mindfulness, reading about gurus and poets every day on different trains to nowhere. I don’t know what I’m learning but I hope I will understand one day. I’m selling my heart with each album and a silent prayer that they’ll be gentle with it, gentle with me. And then the concerned looks they throw when I point at my worn out bag and broken guitar case as the answer to where I live. Sure I could spend a year or two selling my days and time for money, and I could buy all these things people want to have without never really needing it. It’s just that when I’m on that stage every night, it all just seems so stupid. My guitar, my voice, my words, my story. That’s all I want, that’s what makes my heart beat. What am I supposed to do with belongings and material stuff when all I want is this. The open road and a new beginning every day. I don’t have a lot and I gave away the things you’re supposed to have to be able to live. I don’t own any keys and I threw my phone in the river. My family will always remember me as the confused one who left and never came back. I’m searching. I will be forever wandering. I don’t know what I’m looking for, but I will spend the rest of my life trying to find it. I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.”

Hauntingly Beautiful
To read this book and about all the hardships of following a dream, or the heartbreaks of loneliness, or the constant hunger of wanting to escape is really reading about yourself if you are feeling any of this. Charlotte's journey of finding who she is and following her heart is really the heartbreaking, yet breathtaking tale of an inspiring story at its best. You won't be able to put the book down, and yet in the first few pages you already want to read it again. As you get to know Charlotte through her words, you can't help wanting to be her friend and have coffee with her.

Read about her journey of leaving Sweden to follow her desire of finding herself, and you will feel like you're reading about your own life... at least that's what it felt like for me. Reading her story and struggles with life really inspires me. This is the book I will need to read anytime I'm struggling to find my own path

An outstanding new talent
What a outstanding debut novel by Charlotte. Her language jumps out and pulls you into the narrative. A fascinating and inspiring story of her wonderful, scary journey of discovery ~ shades of the Andalusian shepherd Santiago. A book that you don't want to put down but wish it wouldn't end at the same time.
