Ann-Charlotte Alverfors

Ann-Charlotte Alverfors (23 January 1947 – 20 March 2018)[1] was a Swedish writer.[2] She was best known for her autobiographical trilogy, which became the basis for a six-episode miniseries, titled Sparvöga (lit. Sparrow-eye), in 1989.

The daughter of Tor Alverfors and Margaret Andersson, she was born in Eksjö and was educated at a folk high school. In 1972, she published a collection of poetry Paternosterhissar; she published a second collection Jönköping 6 in 1975. Alverfos authored a trilogy of autobiographical novels: Sparvöga (1975), Hjärteblodet (1976) and Snabelros (1977); the novels formed the basis for a television series. She lived in Uppsala.[3][2]

Alverfos was married to professor Arnulf Merker, who died in 2010.[4]

gollark: Sadly, on most devices postmarketOS is missing advanced features like phone calls and any use of the modem at all.
gollark: For Android.
gollark: Oh, no, it's 250GB apparently.
gollark: I'd like postmarketOS, but sadly it's not quite production-ready.
