More About This Book

Overview

From the 1960s to the 1980s, Sweden was an affluent, egalitarian country envied around the world. Refugees were welcomed, even misfit young Englishmen could find a place there. Andrew Brown spent part of his childhood in Sweden during the 1960s. In the 1970s he married a Swedish woman and worked in a timber mill raising their small son. Fishing became his passion and his escape. In the mid-1980s his marriage and the country fell apart. The Prime Minister was assassinated. The welfare system crumbled along with the industries that had supported it. 20 years later Andrew Brown traveled the length of Sweden in search of the country he had loved, and then hated, and now found he loved again.

    Swedish Saga in modern times

    An interesting story of Sweden written by a British journalist with maybe
    "a little axe to grind." Andrew Brown spent eight years as a resident of
    Sweden in the 1980s. Went back to Britain a bit disgruntled, remained
    there for awhile, then got the urge to try Sweden again. He found Sweden
    had changed. FISHING IN UTOPIA is a lament for a lost Eden. It is a
    journey into the past. You may appreciate this book for countless reasons: contemporary state of affairs of Sweden and vivid descriptions
    of the country's nature because of somewhat unusual fishing trips for fish.

    For a well written book that is both educational and entertaining; this
    is one to read now!
