Eeva-Liisa Manner

Eeva-Liisa Manner was born in Helsinki on 5 December 1921; her mother died soon after, and she grew up in Vyborg with very religious grandparents, meeting her father only as an adult. The war forced her to leave Vyborg for Helsinki. An employee first in insurance and then in publishing, she lived by her pen from 1947, sometimes wrote under the name Anna September and translated Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Hesse and Kafka. From the sixties onward, she wrote a large part of her work in Andalusia. She died in Tampere on 7 July 1995.
