Lina Forss

Gripping entertainment with forward drive

 

Both novels for grownups and young adults are the result when Lina Forss unleashes her creative flow. Lina Forss’ books link serious observations with hilarious stories, adding wonderful descriptions of various situations. For her, the situations in which the characters find themselves carry the plot forward. No matter where you are in life, you recognize yourself in her depictions of relationships, doubts and anxiety. Lina Forss shows how people make their way through life’s stages, and she writes to discover what life is all about. Or, as she herself says, “The day I discover the meaning of life is the day everything loses its fascination, and therefore I continue to write.”

 

Lina Forss’ first novel was an autobiography filled with the same excitement as her life. She grew up in Djursholm, a suburb north of Stockholm, and she moved to London at the age of 16. Lina Forss worked in television production while also studying language, attending film school and art school. At 26, she returned to Stockholm and after a few dead-end jobs, she ended up buying a market stall with her soon-to-be husband, where they sold vegetables to the people residing in the high-class Stockholm neighborhood of Östermalm. Since then, they have sold the stall and moved to the countryside, where Lina Forss now lives with her family.
