Eva Frantz is travelling to Norway, where she will be attending the Silkfestivalen in Skudeneshavn.
SILK (Skudeneshavn Internasjonale Litteratur- og Kulturfestival, the International Literature and Culture Festival in Skudeneshavn) is a literature and cultural festival with the goal of fostering reading and spreading cultural experiences. Every year a selected group of authors, screenwriters, musicians and artists is invited to the festival to discuss their work.
Eva Frantz is one of Finland’s most prominent Swedish-speaking authors and her production spans from crime fiction to children’s literature. Her Anna Glad detective series, which follows 30-something detective Anna Glad, has been a success with over 100.000 copies sold and has peaked this summer with Then Die Contentedly. The series has already travelled to Estonia, Denmark, Germany and Norway (books #1-3)
Her children’s novels for middle-grade readers, The Mystery of Raspberry Hill, The Secret of Helmersbruk Manor, and The Queen of the Night, have been great domestic and international successes. The Mystery of Raspberry Hill has been adapted into a miniseries, Hallonbacken, and The Secret of Helmersbruk Manor has already travelled to five territories.
