2005 Mossvikenfruar - Chansen
 
"Hollywood wives. Mossviken wives. That's what Linda and I are."

You have been happily married to your husband for several years, and you’ve loved him ever since you were at school. You’re an average sort of person, who’s never dared to dye your eyebrows really black or wear a jumper with any pattern other than stripes. Maybe you haven’t actually got that much to do, apart from just spending time with your husband and sharing his happiness when he’s earned a really good commission with the Mossviken Electronics and Television shop. But one day you find yourself sitting there with a photograph of your beloved in someone else’s arms. Now what do you do? Love, forget and forgive? Love, forget, and stay bitter forever? Is there a third option?

Emma Hamberg’s debut novel “Mossviken Wives -the Great Chance” is a hilarious and charming story about a woman who finds that third option. It is also a magnificient display of how crashed illusions can actually be a great chance.
