The majority of the stories centered on events and interactions during the Second World War. It was not war literature, but an examination of the occurrences and situations which the war created for people who were not directly involved in the war, but who nonetheless paid a high price because they lived in an occupied country. During the war and afterwards until 1947 she lived in Leirvik in Hordaland. Then she relocated to Nesodden in Akershus. She trained as a music teacher, but wrote a series of novels, novellas, plays and pieces for television.
