The Unrest of My Heart

In the glittering yet repressive world of early 20th century Sweden, Axel and Sara’s paths collide. He is a wealthy married man harboring a dark past and wounds he desperately conceals. She is a passionate young literature student at Uppsala University, searching for profound meaning beyond society’s rigid expectations.

Their forbidden love story unfolds against the backdrop of Stockholm and Uppsala at the turn of the century – a world where elegant villas and grand stone mansions conceal beating hearts and an unrest that refuses to be silenced. 

The Unrest of My Heart is the first installment in a sweeping trilogy that traces one family’s journey from the dawn of the twentieth century to the present day, exploring how the secrets we keep and the pain we carry echo through time.
