»En av mina favoriter i år ... Om man gillar till exempel böckerna om Maj, Historieätarna och Stil i P1 så får man allt det - det är mat, mode, Stockholm 1937« Johanna Lundin i SVT Go'kväll

»Imponerande debutroman ... Det är en vardagsskildring, men så spännande berättad att man hoppar högt när dörren till våningen på Östermalm öppnas vid fel tid ... Förhoppningsvis blir det flera böcker om Betty.« Lotta Olsson, Dagens Nyheter

Året är 1937 och den 17-åriga Betty lämnar Hudiksvall för att bli hembiträde hos doktorsfamiljen Molander på Östermalm i Stockholm. Hon kämpar med långa arbetsdagar och doktorinnans nedlåtande attityd. Betty är oskuldsfull och bildningstörstande och inser snart att i storstaden finns det andra möjligheter och en betydligt större frihet än vad som fanns på hemorten. Inte minst växer en stark vänskap fram med Viola, hembiträdet i grannhuset. Genom böckernas värld kommer Betty i kontakt med Martin, en universitetslektor av judisk börd, och inleder med honom en omöjlig kärleksrelation.

Räkna hjärtslag är en berättelse om en ung kvinnas väg ut i livet, i en historisk tid som liknar vår egen. Det är en varm roman med tidstroget språk och färgstarka detaljer som snabbt förflyttar läsaren till tiden strax före andra världskriget.

Fler röster om boken

»Katarina Widholm har lagt hela sin själ i försöket att skapa en sann bild av hur livet kunde gestalta sig för unga fattiga flickor under 1930-talet. Som samhällsskildring får hennes roman högsta betyg, som feel good-roman får hon lika högt betyg.« Ölandsbladet

»Det är en härlig roman som blandar vardagsslitet och arbetsvillkoren för ett hembiträde (som fick mig att tänka lite på Kristina Sandbergs skildring av hemarbete) vid tiden strax före andra världskriget med kärlek, klasskillnader och resonemangsäktenskap.« Kommunalarbetaren

»Räkna hjärtslag är en okonstlad skildring, påminner om gammaldags romaner, men minst av allt banal. Snarare ett genomarbetat hantverk med många fyndiga tidsmarkörer.« Norran

»En helt underbart berättad historia om människor som känns alldeles äkta och engagerar på varje sida.« Expressen Söndag

»Välskrivet, gediget En stilsäker, lite gammaldags rejäl och hederlig roman som för tankarna till Kristina Sandbergs August-prisade böcker om hemmafrun Maj - men också till den omåttligt populära tv-serien Vår tid är nu.« Alingsås Tidning

»Med nya romanen Räkna hjärtslag får hembiträdet en plats i skönlitteraturen. Möjligen sin första verkliga plats.« Arbetarbladet

»Katarina Widholms realism tar sig direkt in i mitt hjärta. Den bärs upp av en varm och fin ton ... en fulländad debut.« LitteraturMagazinet

»En fin berättelse om svunnen tid. Ett härligt språk som gör att jag lätt kommer in i handlingen och lär känna karaktärerna.« Bloggen Villa Freja

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

Addicting!
Format: Kindle
I could not stop reading. It was so refreshing to have a series start so completely different than most fated mates/fantasy academy rh I’ve been reading. From the desert scenery to the magic and feeding plus the psychological trauma the characters are there to deal with. Pandora is absolutely adorable and I totally relate to hiding behind my hair. I love that she’s literally the most scary type of demon but it’s not the usual “badass mc” persona (which I do love a badass that can fend for herself and kick ass from the start but it was a nice change of pace). I’m not usually a big fan of bully within the harem but each character has their reasons for their actions and also conflicting feelings about them. I adore Dex and Reed! Complete opposites but their personalities and inner monologues made them instant favs. I can’t wait to see the character growth with the guys and continued strength for Pandora. The captivating characters and references to the Fate Hallow series added so much depth and now I need another reread while I wait for book 2. The concept of magic and the unique feeding habits of the demon characters were intriguing. I can't wait for the next book to continue this thrilling journey. In summary, this book is a must-read for fantasy and magic academy rh fans. With its enchanting characters, nods to the Fate Hallow series, and imaginative concepts, it offers an immersive reading experience that hwill leave you craving for more.
