One of few Swedish authors (the only one??) that writes in English (thus is translated back to Swedish) is Marika Cobbold Hjörne. She lives in England and has written five books so far.
I read her first book, Guppies for Tea, after hearing her talk on Swedish radio as one of the "summer speakers" (very Swedish thing, a daily summer radio talk show that goes on only during the summer and is hosted by different artists, authors, writers, or other interesting person).
I really, really liked the book.
And it's kind of interesting to read a book in English by someone who is Swedish!
