Paperweight discussion

Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

We will start our 2024 reading journey with one of her most acclaimed novels, a unique blend of historical fiction and fantasy elements, set in Southern Sweden between 1860 and 1870, "The Emperor of Portugallia".
