And they have very different plans for her.Īn Unthinkable Fate is the fourth stand-alone set in Simona Ahrnstedt’s Wadenstierna-universe. But at home in Stockholm her rich and conservative family await. Alexandra’s dreams of an independent and free life begin to flourish. On the surface the young dreamy socialite Alexandra and the scarred and cynical Atle have nothing in common, but during the course of their journey they grow closer to one another and unthinkable feelings blossom. Together with Atle, her cheery maid Minna and the pious handmaiden Emmy, Alexandra will traverse through a Sweden that is rapidly changing.

The one coming to collect Alexandra is Atle Falk, a man with a dark past. The women’s fight is in its early stages and within Alexandra a longing is growing for independence and the prospect of devoting herself to her passion: art. Now she’s finally allowed to return to Stockholm, where modern inventions such as the telephone and electricity are seeing the day of light, and where intelligence and money are beginning to be considered more important than fine ancestry. In the spring of 1884 the young society woman Alexandra Rosenkvist is living in the north of Sweden, exiled having caused a scandal that shocked the high society.
