Midsommar, a girl’s story

A couple of years ago I spent a perfect midsummer with friends in the Swedish archipelago. We celebrated the longest day of the year in classic Swedish style, with swimming, sauna and smoked fish. For the girls who’ve grown up in Sweden, it was boring and a bit maddening to be trapped on the island. Over the course of the week these two friends shook off adult company and together became strange creatures to everyone but each other.
