THERESE BOHMAN GREW UP outside of Norrköping but lives in Stockholm. She is an arts journalist and regularly contributes to national newspaper Expressen and periodical Tidningen Vi. Her 2010 debut Drowned received critical acclaim, both in Sweden and internationally and was selected as an Oprah Winfrey Summer Read. Her second novel The Other Woman, published in 2014, was shortlisted for the Nordic Council Prize and Swedish Radio’s Fiction Prize, while her third novel Eventide, published in 2016, was shortlisted for Sweden’s most prestigious literary award, the August Prize. Her fourth, Andromeda, published in August 2022, is a timeless story about tradition and modernity. Mount Verity, published fall 2024, has once again proved that she is one of Sweden’s most magnificent voices. My Street (2025), is an extended Christmas story – partly true, largely invented and published as a short novel in twenty-four chapters. Her razor-sharp portraits — often of younger women — are paired together with precise descriptions of the environment. In her novels, worlds are opened up within the characters as much as the plot steadily and unceasingly moves towards the inevitable end.
