Klara is nearly twelve. She is doing really well at school, plays the piano and is a keen competition swimmer, yet her thoughts are increasingly focused on her body. Before long, she can think of nothing but food and calories. Her mother and father are deeply concerned but find her behaviour impossible to comprehend and feel powerless as the severe eating disorder takes her in its grip.

Spring Frost by Swedish author Anna Ehn has been acclaimed by the critics, and is now published in English translation for the first time. The translation is by Sarah Death.
