Aino Trosell has written twenty-eight books; epic novels, thrillers, crime novels, short story collections, and children´s books. She is represented in more than sixty anthologies. She has also written several plays.
Aino Trosell is the recipient of over twenty literary awards and prizes, among those The Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year as well as the prestigious Winter price by Samfundet de Nio (Society of Nine). Her novel, Hjärtblad (Seed Leaf, 2011), was nominated for the Swedish Radio Fiction Award.
Aino Trosells novel Helmers vals (Helmers´ Waltz, 2016), is an epic drama about the author´s father, a complicated relationship as well as a story about the whole twentieth century, as Helmer became very old. Helmer was an ordinary worker who lived in his own universe and didn´t pay much attention to his daughter. A tragicomic and touching novel.
The twenty-sixth book is a novel called Gränsmark (Borderland 2020). A story about a rural postman who drives 160 km every day through large forests where odd people live their lives. Genres mixed; feelbad, feelgood, thriller, crime, humor and a mirror image of society today.
The latest book – VARVSSLAMMER (Shipyard Clutter 2021) – is a fictional deep dive into the golden age of shipyards in the 70’s. The author herself worked as a welder at Arendalsvarvet – one of the largest shipyards in the world.
