Music festivals change lives. It is as simple as that. No one, who has been at Roskilde, can have any doubt as to what festivals mean to young people in general.

And no one, who reads the novel Roskilde, should have any doubt as to what the place means to the author behind it, Linn Strømsborg.

These are the words of the Norwegian publishing house Flamme Forlag that has just released a novel with the easily recognisable title Roskilde.

The author Linn Strømsborg has been at Roskilde Festival since 2004, and her debut novel is an attempt to describe the sensation of happiness that you experience at the festival.
