Herbj rg Wassmo was born and bred in northern Norway, and her writing is deeply rooted in the culture and nature of this northern coastline. She became a teacher but her first book, a collection of poetry, was published in 1976, and since then she has become one of the foremost Scandinavian writers. Her previous books include the Tora trilogy. She received the Literary Critics' Award in 1982, the Booksellers' Award in 1984 and the Nordic Council Literature Prize - equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize - in 1987. She has also written a collection of short stories entitled Journeys (1995), and her latest book is a long awaited contemporary novel, The Seventh Meeting. Herbj rg Wassmo's novels are translated into twenty lanuages. Dina's Book and Dina's Son are the first two titles in the Dina trilogy.
