The People of Hemsö

The People of Hemsö (Swedish: Hemsöborna) is a 1887 novel by August Strindberg about the life of people of the island Hemsö in the Stockholm archipelago. Hemsö is a fictional island, but it is based on Kymmendö where Strindberg had spent time in his youth. Strindberg wrote the book to combat his homesickness while living abroad in Germany and France.

In 1966 a TV series based on the novel was produced.
