Orange Day – Gävle Zontaklubb in collaboration with Agnes Cultural Center
What I Thought Was Love with Anna Lindman
November 25th is the day when the UN calls on the whole world to pay attention and demonstrate against violence against women.
As a bright and optimistic color, orange represents a world free from violence against women and girls.
In collaboration with Agnes Culture House, Gävle Zontaklubb invites you to an author talk with Anna Lindman.
Journalist and author Anna Lindman talks about her book "What I Thought Was Love"”
– In this book, journalist and author Anna Lindman meets people who have left a psychologically abusive relationship. Based on her own and others' experiences, she examines the violence that is not visible, that does not cause bruises but that leaves deep wounds.
The moderator is librarian Daniel Gustavsson.
Location: Krusenstjernasalen, floor 2 in Agnes Kulturhus
Time: Tuesday, November 25, 2025 at 6:00 PM. Doors open 30 minutes before the program starts.
Warm welcome!
