“Perhaps this year’s sweetest novel … sym[1]pathetic without being toothless, profound without getting lost in darkness, bittersweet without being coy … elegant and full of subtle humour”
Fartein Horgar, Adresseavisen, 6/6 stars
“To read Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold is to slip into a particular atmosphere … In her portrait of Agnes, Skomsvold, in my opinion, does what she is best at: describing how it feels to live in a limbo, in an existence which is almost impossible to approach for other people. But what she is even better at is describing the incredible freedom that comes when the neuroses dissipate”
Ingeborg Misje Bergem, Vårt Land
“One bookworm meets another and things catch fire. Two careful, modest, troubled and neurotic people open up to each other and the world … In other words, a love story written in Kjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold’s subtle, drily humorous style, with a puzzled look at successful and perfect people of this world … the love story between Peter Venn and Agnes Møller is seductive and charming”
Turid Larsen, Dagsavisen
“Skomsvold’s text is impressive and muscular … Agnes Night and Day balances between intense psychology and melodramatic workplace drama … Skomsvold finds connections between different approaches, usually opposites, where one creates momentum in the other”
Emilio Sanhueza, Aftenposten
“Skomsvold has written a charming romantic comedy … a beautiful little story about strange, genuine people who find each other in a cynical world … This is an innocent love story, but something is dragging us down towards the cellar”
Live Lundh, Morgenbladet
“A solid, well-written and thought-provoking book about people that many will identify with, people who rarely step out of their safe roles or lose themselves in bold thoughts, dreams or goals”
