Lisa Ridzén

Lisa Ridzén studied sociology and creative writing. She lives in a small village outside Östersund, Sweden. The idea for her debut, When the Cranes Fly South (2024), came from discovering notes that her grandfather’s care team had left for the family as he neared the end of his life. The book has been published in more than 30 countries.
