I found this cool explanation of the word "lagom" while trying to find a word to describe exactly how this book touched me. http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20170818-the-swedish-word-thats-displacing-hygge
I loved how it show cased healthy intergenerational relationships and balance between love of a new and old country.
