New Author: Eva Tind

We are proud to welcome Eva Tind to Paloma Agency.

Eva Tind (1974) is a critically acclaimed author, artist and filmmaker based in Copenhagen. She made her literary debut in 2009 with the poetry collection Do, for which Tind received the prestigious Klaus Rifbjerg Debutant Prize. Since then, she has published several novels, three poetry collections, a children’s book and a literary portrayal of the silent film icon Asta Nielsen. In 2020, her novel Origins was nominated for DR’s Novel Prize. The following year, Tind’s biographical novel about pioneering zoologist Marie Hammer, The Woman Who Joined Up the World, was published.

Tind’s work frequently explores themes of origin, belonging and the shaping of our identity. In 2023, her novel The Lemon Mountain was published to widespread acclaim and garnered a nomination for Jyllands-Posten’sLiterature Prize. Her most recent novel, the autobiographical Min Kim, was published in late 2024. Hailed as one of the best books of the year, it draws from the author’s own experiences as an adopted child and is structured around a series of letters exchanged between the author and a childhood friend named Gull-Mai. After reuniting as adults, Tind embarks on an emotional inner journey as she pens the story of their adoption and upbringing. Here, Tind lays bare the many layers and lies surrounding the myth of the ‘happy adoption’, resulting in a profound and powerful depiction of identity, family and cultural loss. This story reaches far beyond borderlines and leaves no reader unchanged.
