Rosalie Roos ached so much for personal independence, as her own words suggest, that she set sail for the New World to escape the stifling caste of womanhood in the Sweden of the 1850s. From the beginning she considered her decision to travel to America as a test of the strength of her own independent spirit. At the same time she tested the American dream in its marvelously luxurious setting in South Carolina (1851-1855), just when the slavery debate was entering its final and most heated phase before the actual outbreak of war.

This book is about Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II. It is written in monologue form, based on many long interviews, and captures the candid and direct manner by which Queen Margrethe usually addresses her people. This form is an adaptation of very spontaneous answers to an avalanche of frequently provocative and searching questions. In this way, the book fulfills the author’s intent by providing Danes with a more comprehensive picture of their much beloved and ever so popular Queen, who not only does her public duties well, but has provided her people with two sons and recently a grandson. She has keen intelligence and much talent in several fields like illustration, translation, archeology to mention a few.
