About Benny and Shrimp
Benny and Shrimp was first published in Swedish in 1998. This humorous romance novel explores the budding relationship between Desirée and Benny, two people who seem to have nothing in common except the recent bereavements that led them to meet at the cemetery. However, they seem to be irresistibly drawn towards each other, and soon find themselves having to make a choice: are the differences between them too great an obstacle, or should they take a chance on love?
