Anne Swärd is a Swedish writer born in 1969. She made her debut as a novelist in 2003 with Polarsommar (Arctic Summer), which earned her an August Prize nomination[1] on the grounds that "A mighty chorus of voices portray a family in crisis. The individual cast joints piece after piece to a powerful story about how betrayal and repeated confrontations erode the strongest relationships. Surprising shifts in perspective and a language that is characterized by sharp details, gives the story important nuances and psychological depth."
