The Anderssons by Solveig Olsson-Hultgren (born in 1958) is a Swedish Young Adult Literature series, where we follow the girls within one family from 1899 and 1999. In the very beginning, the family is still very poor and has to work hard to keep their homestead. But it turns out that the 20th century is a time full of changes, and it becomes possible for the Andersson girls to follow their dreams and find their own kind of happiness. The whole series is made up by ten different installments, where we can follow nine different protagonists.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })1: "Siden, sammet, trasa, lump" ("Silk, velvet, tatters, rags"), first published in 2002, takes place during the summer of 1899.
