It is a few days before Christmas in 2021 when Linnéa Claeson is on her way to work as a lawyer. Her personal protection officers give her 15 minutes to pack, then take her to a shelter, where she will stay for 147 nights.
Claeson had been a public voice for women’s rights for many years, but after years of persecution and threats, the situation became so serious that she was forced to go underground.
“It is a book about stalkers, love and violence. About a world in turmoil and, at the same time, about refusing to give up,” Linnéa Claeson says in a press release from Bokförlaget Max Ström (Swedish publishing house) about her autobiographical book, “There Will Always Be a Spring.”
Correction: An earlier version contained incorrect information about the book’s publisher.
