About the author

Karin Smirnoff (b. 1964) lives in the small village of Yttre Hertsånger, in northern Sweden. She worked as a journalist before she decided to change direction and bought a wooden factory. After a few years Smirnoff yearned back to the practice of writing and decided to pick it up again – but this time in literary form. She applied to Lund University’s Writer’s school with what would become her debut as an author: My Brother. It received triumphant reviews and was nominated for the esteemed August Prize in 2018. The following year Smirnoff returned with My Mother and in 2020 she ended the trilogy about Jana Kippo with Then I Went Home Smirnoff brought something entirely new into the literary field with her immensely appreciated trilogy that has sold more than 500 000 copies in Sweden.

In 2021 Karin Smirnoff was announced as the author to continue the legacy of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series.

Reviews

[Andreos H · Rating 4 out of 5]

Schwierig, sich hier auf eine Bewertung zu einigen, da es sowohl eine überdimensionierte Story gibt, aber die Charaktere an sich zu wenig Profil bekommen. Hier stirbt einer, da stirbt einer.. wer war das nochmal? Ach eh egal, war ja nur ein Name.

Der Schreibstil mit den "eingeblendeten Gedanken" finde ich eher störend als gelungen. Hätte man alles anders machen können. Irgendwas zwischen 3 und 4, der Bauch sagt 4.
