Anna Alemo
Anna Alemo
Anna Alemo is a bestselling Swedish romance and feel-good author whose warm, witty and emotionally honest stories explore love, relationships and the messy business of starting over. Since her debut in 2019, she has published more than twenty titles and sold over 300,000 copies in Sweden. Four of her novels have been nominated for Sweden’s Feelgood Book of the Year award.
Alemo began writing in her forties, going on to build a successful career in contemporary feel-good and historical romance. Her stories combine humour, romance and emotional depth, often following women whose lives have quietly or suddenly fallen apart and who must find a way forward. Alongside love and second chances, her novels make room for loneliness, grief, mental health, self-worth, family pressure and the complications of everyday life.
A strong sense of place runs through Alemo’s writing. Coastal towns, lakeside cottages, forests and changing seasons create a distinctly Nordic atmosphere, while her characters — flawed, funny and recognisably human — bring warmth and authenticity to every story.

The Westerberg Family Saga
A historical romance series set in 1950s southern Sweden, The Westerberg Family Saga consists of eight interconnected novels, each centred on a different woman connected to the wealthy Westerberg merchant family in the coastal town of Ystad. The stories can be read independently, but recurring characters and events connect them into one larger story that unfolds from 1950 to 1956.
Through daughters, maids, neighbours and outsiders, Anna Alemo explores love, family, ambition and the expectations placed on women in post-war Sweden. Her characters come from different backgrounds and social positions, allowing the series to show both the privileges and limitations of life in the 1950s.
The novels combine romance, family drama and everyday life with a strong sense of time and place. Ystad and the surrounding southern Swedish landscape provide the backdrop, from summer light and family gatherings to secrets behind closed doors, new relationships and women beginning to question the lives expected of them.
The Westerberg Family Saga has become one of Anna Alemo’s most successful series in Sweden, with more than 70,000 copies sold. Published by Karat Förlag between 2023 and 2025, the series has also received strong reader response throughout its publication.

With romance, humour, secrets and plenty of local colour, The Cottages of Boklyckan is a feel-good series about the people we meet when life takes us somewhere we never expected to go.
