A cultural portrait of Swedish customs

Lily Lorenzen’s account looks beyond Sweden’s familiar public institutions and design reputation to consider the customs and traditions that shape everyday cultural identity. The description frames the book as both a record of inherited practices and an introduction to a country’s social and cultural life, offering a perspective distinct from a conventional sightseeing guide. Its subject connects family memory with travel: traditions can carry particular significance for Swedish-American readers, while also providing context for visitors interested in Sweden beyond its landmarks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Swedish-Americans interested in cultural traditions and family heritage
  • Readers seeking an introduction to Swedish customs and social life
  • Travelers looking for cultural context alongside sightseeing

Book overview

Here is a book filled with the sights and sounds of a people steeped in a background of fine old traditions. It is a charming account of Swedish customs that goes beyond their democratic monarchy, their progressive social-welfare programs, their avant-garde movies, and their excellence of design.
For Swedish-Americans this book will have special meaning: the joy of reminiscing about those traditions (some possibly forgotten) that enriched and helped shape their lives. For their children it is a journey to a world they may not know of first hand. And for the tourist it affords a unique behind-the-scenes look not to be found in travel books, and is certain to enhance the pleasure of their visit.
