Anna Solding

Anna Solding’s first novel The Hum of Concrete was published by MidnightSun Publishing in March 2012, to great critical acclaim. J.M Coetzee praises the novel saying: ‘The characters are treated with heartwarming tenderness … the Swedish settings vividly realised.’ After many years of writing her PhD and publishing reviews and short stories, Anna now feels at home as a novel writer. Exploring diverse themes such as motherhood, community, multiculturalism, love and intersex conditions, The Hum of Concrete is ultimately about people finding their place in the world. Anna grew up in Sweden but she is now happily settled in Adelaide, Australia, with her partner and their three boys.
