I chose All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque – and at this point a lot of people might’ve justifiably said, no, that’s not an appropriate book for a child, pick another one, but not my granddad.

I’ve always loved telling stories, but I credit my grandfather for setting me down the writer’s path. I’m now back in Sweden, living in another village, this time in the middle of the north-eastern Scanian woods. At nineteen I moved to Cambridge to study English and wound up falling in love with the country and the people, spending the better part of a decade in the UK.
