Girl Who Saved The King Of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson

One or two of them might get to experience his fiftieth birthday. Most of them would die young of tuberculosis, pneumonia, diarrhea, pills, alcohol, or a combination of these. On the other hand, from a statistical perspective they had no future. After all, they had both a job and a roof over their heads.

IN SOME WAYS THEY WERE LUCKY, THE LATRINE EMPTIERS IN South Africa’s largest shantytown. On a girl in a shack and the man who posthumously helped her escape it The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. She ends up in Sweden, which has transformed into a nuclear nation, and the fate of the world now lies in Nombeko's hands. Nombeko Mayeki knows too much about it, and now she's on the run from both the South African justice and the most terrifying secret service in the world. the one that was never supposed to have existed.

This is a story about the seventh missile. South Africa developed six nuclear missiles in the 1980s, then voluntarily dismantled them in 1994. Here is where the story merges with, then diverges from reality. She finds work as a housecleaner and eventually makes her way up to the position of chief advisor, at the helm of one of the world's most secret projects. Nombeko was fated to grow up fast and die early in her poverty-stricken township. The real story starts much earlier, in 1961, with the birth of Nombeko Mayeki in a shack in Soweto. Later it was said that both had fallen ill: the truth is different. On June 14th, 2007, the King and Prime Minister of Sweden went missing from a gala banquet at the Royal Castle. Jonas Jonasson's picaresque tale of how one person's actions can have far-reaching-even global-consequences, written with the same light-hearted satirical voice as his bestselling debut novel, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.
