autobiographical series of short stories
→ autobiographical collection of short stories- Edited.
Finland Swedish writer
→ Finland-Swedish writer- See Finland Swedish.
It was her first book for adults
→ It was her first book intended for adults [emphasis added]- Well I see what you're trying to do: it's a bit risky as we don't know her intentions exactly, but perhaps we can try it here in the lead as a brief summary.
who note
→ who have noted- Present tense is fine here.
both in the Finnish capital Helsinki and summer holidays on an island
- grammatical, but slightly awkward, suggest both in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, and during summer holidays on an island- Edited.
It is narrated as stories told from the child's point of view
→ It is narrated through stories told from a child's point of view- Edited.
- What does "Title" refer to in the template in § Synopsis, is it the titles of sections in the book or the titles of books, I'm confused?
- Amended to 'Story title'.
- Is it common for such articles to use such templates, or do they have it in prose?
- A table is convenient to arrange multiple items and fields.
- The Oxford English Dictionary accepts the word "gluing". I think "glueing" is erroneous or obsolete.
- Edited.
In its view

- Edited.
with a child's gaze on events

2b

- Has the book series received any other criticisim?

4
The book has been admired by critics
- "admired" is a strong positive word, suggest adding "well-recieved"- Noted, but certainly justified in this case; I've repeated refs to support the word.
