City of My Dreams by Per Anders Fogelstrom, translated by Jennifer Brown Baverstam

This remarkable novel tells the story of Henning Nilsson and his family in nineteenth century Sweden. Fifteen-year-old Henning, barefoot and penniless, leaves the country in search of a better life. His story mirrors the growth of Stockholm as both struggle with the Industrial Revolution and the opportunities and mishaps toward the acquisition of dreams. City of My Dreams, the first book in his five-volume Stockholm series, broke the record for bestsellers.
