Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Fredrik Backman's Works
This guide contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through them, at no extra cost to you.
Fredrik Backman was writing for Helsingborgs Dagblad and Moore Magazine before fiction made him famous well beyond his native Sweden. His 2012 debut, A Man Called Ove, reached English-language readers in 2014 and inspired an acclaimed film; Beartown has been lined up for television as well, and his novels have been translated into twenty-five languages. Away from the desk, his world centers on his wife and their two children.
The eleven novels here span 2012 to 2025, closing with Mina vänner, and they are arranged in the order they first appeared — the simplest way to watch a career this steady take shape, from Ove onward.
