Annika, Mona and Monika are retired careerists that meet each other for the first time after the pandemic. The Coffee Party is a story about loneliness, friendship and love.
The Coffee Party is Linus Jonsson’s debut novel. Foreword by Anna Wassenaar.
“These women are probably a study of how people who in and of themselves are not lacking in skills and opportunities have gotten stuck in a chronic life crisis, this because those who set the tone in their society do not have the insight and qualifications to help them, to inspire them, to something better. Your novel seems to me to emphatically illustrate that the Swedish (European?) society has pulled away the foundation for a life that is satisfying in a deeper sense. It is painful to be confronted with this self-absorbed, bored, confused attitude toward life, but much is gained if someone like you can make others realize the need for a thorough revitalization.” [Text by Claes Ryn translated by Jonsson]
