The distinctly competent district councillor
Jonasson, Jonas, 1961-2026
Book
All over the world, people sleep blissfully in Traumbett beds. Made in Hamburg, they've successfully cornered the market everywhere except Sweden, which is why the new owner, Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr, is desperate to expand there. Seeing an opportunity to attract 800 new jobs back to her small, decaying town of Halstaholm, new district councillor Julia Bäck jumps right into spearheading a persuasive campaign with an unprecedented charm offensive to win the contract over Stockholm. A roundabout is hastily renamed in honour of Angela Merkel and adorned with black, red and gold flowers; a German school is quickly established under the leadership of three elderly pensioners; and the town swimming pool is rapidly transformed into a beerhouse - it had been empty for years anyway! Julia's tenacity impresses the German bed boss Konrad Jr but has she bitten off more than she can chew?
