Sofia Rönnow Pessah explores EU politics in new novel ‘Eurogirls’

The novel ‘Eurogirls’ by Sofia Rönnow Pessah explores the intersection of personal identity and European Union politics. Set in the corridors of Brussels, the story follows characters like Mika, a parliamentary official, and Eleni, who is navigating life away from Sweden, as they encounter the complexities of political maneuvering and social intrigue.

Critics describe the work as an attempt to humanize the often dry atmosphere of EU politics by introducing elements of gossip, social tension, and sexual power plays. While the narrative is noted for its entertaining depiction of political games and the human desire for recognition, some reviews suggest the character development and plot transitions can be uneven.
