Sofia Lundberg

Sofia Lundberg is a Swedish author and former magazine journalist and editor, born in 1974 and now based in Stockholm. She grew up in a household without many books but was drawn to reading and libraries from an early age, taking in writers like Dostoyevsky, Hemingway and Steinbeck as a child. Her debut novel, The Red Address Book (2019), was inspired by an address book she found among her late great-aunt's belongings and became a word-of-mouth international bestseller, eventually published in more than thirty territories -- establishing Lundberg as one of the breakout voices of contemporary Scandinavian fiction, known for pairing intimate, generation-spanning family stories with real historical settings. In this catalogue she appears as one of two co-authors, alongside Alyson Richman, credited with M.J. Rose on The Friday Night Club (2023), a dual-timeline novel centered on Swedish abstract-art pioneer Hilma af Klint and her real-life circle of female painters -- a collaboration drawing on Lundberg's own Swedish background and historical-fiction sensibility.
