Lina Wolff ’s novel The Corpses We Planted (Liken vi begravde, Albert Bonniers förlag 2025) has been nominated for The August Prize for best Swedish Novel!
From the jury’s motivational statement:
“Two orphaned sisters grow up among pedophiles and sadists in darkest Skåne, where an unsolved double murder weighs heavily on the village. With fluid prose and dramatic twists, Lina Wolff elicits laughter from the depths of despair. ‘The Corpses We Planted’ is a furiously entertaining and ingenious novel.”
This is the third time Lina has been nominated for this prestigious award, which she won in 2016 for The Polyglot Lovers.
