Kajsa Ingemarsson

Wonderfully warm and entertaining bestseller

 

Kajsa Ingemarsson made her writing debut in 2002 and has since then written several novels that have won high critical acclaim and gained enormous public success, including Yesterday’s News (Små citroner gula), The Russian Friend (Den ryske vännen) and The Wheel of Fortune (Lyckans hjul) and Simply Water (Bara vanligt vatten). Today she is one of the top bestselling novelists in Sweden.

 

In Kajsa Ingemarsson’s novels the reader finds people, settings and events of our time. These are all nicely carved out with an entertaining, stylish, and plain approach. She guides the reader to find out what lays behind the façades, what has been lied and not spoken about. And at the same time, she pinpoints with finesse and humor, the little things that can make us defy setbacks and failures and that makes us still move forward.

 

Individual happiness can look very different from one person to another. Kajsa Ingemarsson creates convincing characters which can all be important to the reader, like a guide for anyone who would like to know more about his or her own life. By doing this, her style resembles the writing of Marianne Fredriksson and Anna Gavalda.

 

She has previously worked with counterespionage, diplomacy and translations. She is often featured on radio and TV, where she oftens gets to show her humorous side, which – besides being a great stylist – appears in her writing as well.
