THE GIRL WHO SAVED THE KING OF SWEDEN - JONAS J...

In a tiny shack in the largest township in South Africa  Nombeko Mayeki is born. Put to work at
five years old and orphaned at ten  she quickly learns that the world expects nothing more from
her than to die young. But Nombeko has grander plans. She learns to read and write  and at just
fifteen  using her cunning and fearlessness  she makes it out of Soweto with millions of
smuggled diamonds in her possession. Then things take a turn for the worse. . . . Nombeko's
life ends up hopelessly intertwined with the lives of Swedish twins intent on bringing down the
Swedish monarchy. In this wild romp  Jonasson tackles issues ranging from the pervasiveness of
racism to the dangers of absolute power. In the satirical voice that has earned him legions of
fans the world over  he gives us another rollicking tale of how even the smallest of decisions
can have global consequences.
