emelee Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Prize winning bestseller Egenmäktigt förfarande vill come out in English in June 2015. I have not yet bought the novel myself, but everyone are raving about about. It's a story about love. Or better yet, a crazy passionate love, maybe borderline obsessive, but it's one-sided from the woman's part. She falls madly in love with an artist that she's assigned to hold a lecture about. He's in an audience. It's translated to Wilful disregard - A novel about love, written by Lena Andersson, a journalist. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wilful-Disregard-Novel-About-Love/dp/1447268911/ref=sr_1_16?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414507464&sr=1-16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emelee Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 A little tidbit about the book: the male character, the artist that the female author falls in love with, is based on a real relationship that Lena Andersson had with a certain famous film director. The 2014 Golden Lion award winner Roy Andersson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Aside from the endless crime novels........ That's true. We don't see a lot of Swedish novels translated into Dutch here but those that are translated are usually crime novels, for some reason.
