This study compares two literary works by the Swedish author Sara Stridsberg. One of the books is an adult novel, titled Beckomberga (2014), and the second book is a children’s book with illustrations, titled Dyksommar (2019).The latter is partly based on the same story as in Beckomberga. Both literary works feature a female protagonist, both with a father that is hospitalized in a mental hospital. The study examines and compares the narrator’s voice in both books, with a starting point from the French literary theorist Gérard Genette. This study also examines a character called Sabina, which appears in both in the novel and the children’s book. I examine in which ways the two protagonists’ relationship with Sabina is being characterized. Sabina is a patient in the same mental hospital, and the two female protagonists are intrigued – intrigued to visit their father, to socialize with Sabina and to discover the life that progress within the walls of the hospital.
