THROUGH HER JOB as a reporter, Carina has travelled around the world. She has written about Texas death row, sexual violence in India, drug cartels in Mexico and famine in Chad. Her articles about the massacre on the Norwegian island Utøya won her the Swedish Grand Journalism Award as Storyteller of the Year in 2012 and in 2013 Carina won an award for Best Writing Style. In 2015 her work with forgotten crises on the African continent gave her a nomination for the Red Cross Journalism Award and after covering the war in Syria she was nominated for the European Press Prize in 2016.

HER LATEST NOVEL Echoes of Home depicts a part of Swedish history that has long been silenced: our role in the transatlantic slave trade. The result is a poignant novel that combines vivid character portraits with historical precision. The novel will be published in spring 2026.
