Because it is a beatiful story and the language is excellent (in Swedish at least).
/Emma, Sweden

I think it is a bright, light and beautiful book about human sins, love and fears - it fits to our life today.
/Gulyás Katalin, Hungary

One of the finest books I have ever read. If you like Thomas Hardy, Selma Lagerlöf's books will be a revelation. 'The Story of Gösta Berling' will touch everybody's heart.
/John Walde, Australia

This is the best book I have ever read. I began to study Swedish, so that I can read it in its original language. Really fantastic. You get to know Sweden, and you will be a Swedish fan.
