The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden: A Novel

SUNDAY TIMES NO 1 FICTION BESTSELLER

From the author of the bestselling ‘The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared’, comes a charming, humorous and utterly unique tale of how one young woman’s actions can have unlikely – and global – consequences.

Nombeko Mayeki was never meant to be a hero. Born in a Soweto shack, she seemed destined for a short, hard life. But now she is on the run from the world ‘s most ruthless secret service, with three Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer. Oh, and the fate of the King of Sweden - and the world - rests on her shoulders.

As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson’s bestselling debut, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations.
