Cora Sandel is a pseudonym for Sara Fabricius, who was born into a bourgeois family in Kristiania (Oslo) in 1880. She moved with her family to Tromsø when she was 13 years old. The small Arctic town north of the Arctic Circle later became the setting for several of her stories. In 1906, she travelled to Paris to develop as a painter, and remained mainly in France for 15 years. She did not become a painter, but had her breakthrough as a writer after moving to Sweden in 1921. Sara Fabricius died in Uppsala in 1974, aged 94. By then she had published 5 novels and 6 short story collections.
Many of Cora Sandel’s titles have been translated to German. 2019 her novel Kranes konditori, Café Krane is published by Urachhaus, translated by Birgitta Kircherer.
