Happy publication day to Crimetime Award-nominated Greta Boström’s THE GIRL IN THE CAVE in France
Greta Boström is a Swedish author of suspenseful and emotionally resonant fiction for young readers. Her writing is rooted in the emotional landscape of childhood and early adolescence—where fear, imagination and reality often exist side by side. Drawing on vivid personal memories, she explores the intensity of growing up, and the quiet psychological shifts that shape identity, friendship and belonging.
Boström’s work has been recognised for its sensitivity and tension, including a nomination for the Crimetime Award for Best Children’s Suspense Novel for her debut THE GIRL IN THE CAVE.
Her novels are characterised by atmospheric storytelling and strong emotional precision. Blending suspense with psychological depth, she writes stories where the supernatural often reflects very human fears: exclusion, uncertainty, and the struggle to feel enough.
THE GIRL IN THE CAVE is published in France by le Seuil Jeunesse.
