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.

Surprising shifts in perspective and a language that is characterized by sharp details, gives the story important nuances and psychological depth."

Arctic Summer received a number of awards and was translated into several languages such as German, Dutch, Polish, and Persian.

It was nominated for the Vi magazine's Literature Prize, and awarded the first scholarship from the Mare Kandre Memorial Fund.

Her third novel Till sista andetaget (Breathless), winner of the Bokcirklar Award for the novel of the year, was published in 2010.
