Author: Emma Hamberg
 
  
Emma Hamberg, b.1971, renowned illustrator, columnist and reporter, made her literary debut in 2003 with “Lina’s Eveningbook”, a novel for young adults, which won great critical acclaim and was made into a successful feature film. Two years later, in 2005, Hamberg debuted with her first novel for adults, “Mossviken Wifes – The Great Chance" - an arousing story of a beautician and a shop-assistant on the run from their unfaithful husbands, which was an immediate success and the starting point for writing women’s fiction. In 2007, this was followed up with the hilarious novel, "In Heat" in 2007, and "The Ace" in 2010. Her latest novel “Next stop: Rosengädda!” (the first novel in a series of three) was released in August 2012, and was warmly received by critics and readers alike.

Emma Hamberg is married, a mother of three girls and lives with her family in the outskirts of Stockholm. She grew up in a small town in south-west Sweden, which is reflected in her novels mainly set in the countryside. Her style of writing is swift, skilled, humoristic and has a warm tone of voice. She is today one of Sweden’s best-selling authors of women’s fiction.

“I haven’t been entertained on peoples’ painful behalf, nor been feeling their pain at the same time in a long time.”
- Lisbeth Høier Harpsøe, Rundtombogen.dk
“In Heat is a wonderful novel for women of every age, and also for men who are curious to sometimes get a glimpse of the whirlwinds in a woman’s universe.”
- Litteratursiden.dk
"…a lovely description of how relationships can be as simple as they can be complicated. And how bad it gets when there is a lack of communication. Emma Hamberg tells her story with great charm in a personal language that makes the story come alive."
