Principal characters are the publisher of an economic journal in Sweden and the title girl who is initially very odd but for whom the reader gradually gets to know and admire. At least this reader did! The books contrast power and the powerless, particularly as mediated by economics and society. The writing is somewhat uneven, but overall I enjoyed it. Some of the writing flubs may be due to the translation from the original language, Swedish.
