Recently I asked the author about what she was reading. Lövestam's reply:
I'm currently reading a fascinating book about life in the North of Sweden during the 1800s.

I'm reading it as research for a book I'm about to start writing. The title is Urfödan, which would roughly be translated as "primeval foods", and I wish I could tell you it's been translated to English. It probably hasn't.
