LillaEdet was so quiet a town that the first summer I lived there I learnt to distinguish the smells of different trees.
Parallel valleys ran through the granite; in the deepest and broadest of these, by the side of LillaEdet, ran the huge Göta river which drains Lake Vänern, one of the largest in Europe; in the hills to the East, lay a chain of deep, clear lakes.
But two lakes down the chain, by the bathing place for LillaEdet, was a lake whose depths were still a deep humus colour, whose margins were full of water lilies and whose weedbeds were full of pike.
