“Botany on LSD, a Grimm’s fairy tale for adults (…) Rosarium is a formidable novel and just like its cover, lush, wild, puzzling and fantastic. Wow – I cannot remember ever reading anything like it” Berlingske Tidende, Denmark
“How wonderful it is to finally come across a real, original, vibrant and completely made-up story, like the one Charlotte Weitze, with her sensationally strong and wild imaginary power, lays out before us in her new, generous and blossoming novel, Rosarium” Weekendavisen, Denmark
“As in a Grimm fairytale, the story is magical, wild-growing, compelling and a little spooky” Politiken, Denmark
”Weitzes novel is a rose garden of realism, myth, science and fantasy. Alluring and fascinating” Kristeligt Dagblad, Denmark
“A spooky and unusually strong story, a big novel for the international stage.” Femina
“Disturbing, dystophic and bestial like a von Trier-film” Familie Journalen, Denmark
“Charlotte Weitze is a unique voice in Danish literature. A voice with a strange mix of fairytale and realism. Her stories have always fascinated, as they are so different from every other contemporary Danish work of fiction, they are strange, but yet as Danish as H.C. Andersen” Kulturen.nu, Denmark
“The prose is untameable in this wild novel. How lucky we are to have Weitze, for there is no one quite like her.” LitteraturDK, Denmark
“A lavish candy store for people who love speculative fiction with supernatural and genre-crossing elements … wild, joyful storytelling, swanky natural mysticism and flowery prose” Dagbladet, Norway
“A literary fairytale landscape with dark, mystical strains, packed with sensuality, flesh, blood and plant juices. Rosarium is a welcome dietary supplement for readers who long for something other than dreary relationship novels” VG, Norway
“Beautiful and deeply disturbing … Weitze’s novel finds a strange balance between commercial fiction and fairytale, magic realism and Freudian primal scenes” Bergens Tidende, Norway
