Once Memories Denied was published in Swedish, it quickly gained recognition and popularity. At the Gothenburg Book Fair, her Estonian book was the best-selling book by an Estonian author. In addition, Imbi Paju had the honor of appearing with the Finnish-Estonian writer Sofi Oksanen at this important fair. This was followed by exciting tours of various Swedish cities and universities, bringing Paju’s work closer to more readers.
The Swedish edition of the book was published by Atlantis and translated by Heidi Granqvist.
