It was precisely this region of Norrland that later became her literary landscape. She taught for a number of years at various village schools in Uppland and in Gotland, married the doctor Anders Aronson, and moved with him in 1919 to a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients in the northern part of Norrland, where she had great difficulty settling in. With the help of a student for whom the mother cleaned, she passed the upper secondary school leaving examination, and later her father paid for her education at a teaching college. She was adopted by a childless couple who ran a butcher’s shop in Uppsala, but at the age of nine was returned against her will to her biological mother, who also lived in Uppsala. Ester Kristina (Stina) Aronson was the daughter of the unmarried servant Maria Andersson and the student Olof Bergqvist, who later became a Bishop and a Member of Parliament. ![]()
