Is this the elusive Lisbeth Salander's new apartment? Photo by Robert Corkery.
About a week before we left our old apartment, we saw someone new moving into the lower level. When a name tag was posted to the door, we could not help but notice it. “How cool is that,” I said to Robert. “Lisbeth Salander has moved to our building just as we have to move out.”
Of course, I was referring to the fictional character of Lisbeth Salander from Stieg Larson’s Millenium series, first made famous as the girl in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. As we were living on Södermalm and just around the corner from where Lisbeth’s old apartment on Lundagatan was, the fiction seemed like it could be true. Or maybe we just wanted it to be.
