Growing up in Sweden

Growing up in Sweden: In the Shadow of World War II was published in 2008.

"Lilly Setterdahl's childhood story is an account of her family's life in neutral Sweden of World War II, where the threat of war hovered just across the straits in Denmark. She intertwines memories of her own neighborhood with the larger story of Sweden's efforts to remain free of foreign entanglements, while still offering a secure life to her citizens during very frightening times. It is a delightful read, whether as a Swede, Swedish American or World War II historian." John E. Norton

"These engaging vignettes give us daily life in Sweden as a child experiences it: immediately and clearly, through small details and simplicity of style. And the contrast of these small, beautiful, valuable things with the horror of the war going on around them brings home powerfully what war means, what it can threaten and destroy." Ann Boaden
