She has written six books in total, but it is her trilogy about Maj, a very ordinary mid-20th century Swedish housewife, that has been her big literary breakthrough. However, it was not until the third in the series, <em>Liv till varje pris<\/em> (\u201cLife at any cost\u201d), that the books gained the attention many thought they deserved. Maybe because a series of thick books describing a woman\u2019s life and household duties in such a detailed and intimate way did not really suit modern day readers?<\/p>\n<p>From late 2015 the Nordic House has organized a monthly &#8220;Meet the Author&#8221; evenings with exciting Nordic authors. In January the Swedish author Kristina Sandberg will be our guest.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s most famous for her trilogy about Maj, the stay-at-home mom. The trilogy has gained attention and very good reviews and the final book (\u201eLife at any cost\u201c) won the prestigious August Prize in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Tinna \u00c1sgeirsd\u00f3ttir will be the moderator of the evening and the discussions will mostly be done in Swedish.<\/p>\n<p>Free entry!
