Marianne Fredriksson (née Persson; 28 March 1927 in Gothenburg – 11 February 2007 in Österskär) was a Swedish author who worked and lived in Roslagen and Stockholm. Before becoming a novelist, she was a journalist for various Swedish newspapers and magazines, including Svenska Dagbladet.[1]
Fredriksson published fifteen novels, most of which have been translated into English, German, Dutch, and other languages. Most of her earlier books are based on biblical stories.[2] A central theme in her writings is friendship, because as she maintained, "friendship will be more important than love" in the future.
