Our congratulations go to Frank Perry, whose translation of Åsa Larsson’s The Sins of our Fathers has been shortlisted for this year’s Petrona Award.

The Petrona Award recognises translated Scandinavian crime fiction that has been published in the UK during the previous calendar year.

What the judges say:

“Larsson remains a wise, observant, social commentator and creator of a gripping, suspenseful and utterly moving series, with her eye to the past and the future, and emotive style. Delicate and relevant humour adds hope to the fragile lives of the main characters.”
