The book began as a poetry collection depicting environments and the coast, but evolved when her father entered into these stories, transforming it into a work about what we expect from fathers. According to SVT Småland, Tove Folkesson described how it started as a poetry collection where she depicted the environments and the coast, then her father found his way into these stories and so it became a book about what we expect from fathers. It explores the relationship between a father and a daughter and the political and ideological heritage she carries, though the specific political and ideological heritage remains unspecified. According to SVT Småland, Tove Folkesson described it as a kind of reckoning.
Folkesson spent five years writing the novel, during which she talked to many people close to her, and many started talking about their own fathers. According to SVT Småland, Tove Folkesson described that it seems like it's something that applies to very many of us have a father that one doesn't quite understand, and one sometimes wonders who are you really? The title of the new book and its publication date have not been disclosed, and details on how many people she talked to or the main themes or chapters are not provided.
