Swedish Reading Club: The Queen’s Fortune by Allison Pataki
Tuesday, October 21, 2025
A charming, wise, and laugh-out-loud funny novel following an American woman competing on a Swedish reality show in an attempt to discover her roots.
“Such a clever summer read. It’s a chatty rom-com romp through the life of a funny, adventurous, and amusing—though slightly adrift—Minneapolis woman who applies for a Swedish reality TV show, then jets off, leaving her bookish boyfriend behind as she embarks on the sort of international escapades that throw a light on two cultures separated by an ocean. Think Henry James, with jokes and pop culture.”
